I am curious if anyone knows of testers for t2 that doesn't require finger pokes. Testers like the t1 diabetes have.
I'm type 2 and I have the 14 day Libre sensor. I am EXTREMELY afraid of needles so this is a good thing for me. The sensor has the tiniest little needle and I don't feel a thing. Plus it's not like an injection. It's hard to explain but the sensor connects to what makes me think of one of those stampers that you push down on and makes a click. That's it. And you can scan anytime you want. I have the finger one also for a back up. I hope this helped some.
Blood sugar samples are always the best, the CGM or Freestyle Libre read interstitial fluids so there is a 15 to 30 min lag between the blood and interstitial fluid samples, which is why you may feel a hypo before it shows up on those devices and always best to check blood sample if having a true hypo episode. Those devices are great tools as you can scan every min if you want to.
There is a technology being worked on which implants a device under the skin and it is suppose to last a few months I believe. Not sure at what stage they are at with this but you can look it up.
I have found this site I will paste which mentions other devices as well, again do not know where they are at or who can buy them.

Thank you so much. I would love for it to be easier to check my levels. Maybe there is something for t2 diabetes to try out these products. I may look into that as well.
I've read of a variety still under test that temporarily clamps onto the end of a finger, and uses specific colors of light for the testing. Probably not easy to get yet.
I heard about them through TV buy they're expensive to buy so the pharmacy informs me, but then so are the strips & the lancets.
