I now use a OneTouch monitor (with pinpricks) since Medicare and my Doctor won't/can't prescribe the wearable Glucose monitor (I am probably pre-diabetic with a 6.4 A1C).

So, I'm looking for a device I would buy on my own that will do a lot of things for me, like a Fitbit-type product that can monitor BP and Heartrate and sleep patterns AND Glucose and anything else.

I got a "cheapie" from Amazon called "Coolwear Fit" for like 50 bucks

I doesn't do blood sugar but heart rate, blood oxygen, total steps/calories burned, total sleep split up into deep and shallow

Could answer my phone with it, tells me the weather forecast and a half dozen other things I haven't even bothered to try out yet

Technology is cheap and while it's kinda "cool" if I'm being totally honest none of the information it gives me is worth anything more than the curiosity factor

My CGM, Glucose Meter and BP tester give me data I can use - the watch keeps me entertained
