[citation][nom]house70[/nom]what is "FDC approved"?Anyways, sounds like a rip-off for the high prices. A minuscule FSG meter is even easier to carry, cheaper, and if you drop/lose your phone you are not left without such a lifesaving device. This will create more problems than it solves.[/citation]
FDC = FDA. It is a typo I think.
Also, if you already carry your phone, then it is only a small addition to it, as oppose full dedicated system where you would store and process and plot all the data.
Also, if they are not idiots, they likely sink your data with something online or at very least back it up in iCloud automatically, so you do not loose your data.
Is it the next best thing since the sliced bred? No, but it is more convenient than connect to your PC each time to do the analysis. And when you have to do lots of those measurements as a diabetic, it matters.
