A conversation between two bloggers:
Christine: holy crap, that navigator was approved
Christine: i thought for sure things were going to start exploding when this happened or something
Allison: I know!
Christine: like the end of the world
Allison: hahahaha
Allison: seriously
Allison: it’s the sign of the apocalypse
Allison: quick
Allison: look outside
Allison: do you see any pigs in the air?
Christine: oh gosh, the sky is falling
Christine: little pieces of the clouds are falling to the ground
Christine: oh wait
Christine: that’s just snow
Whoa! That’s big news!
It’s amazing the pre-release buzz that seems to have built up about this. Like all our CGM problems will be gone. It’s an interesting development.
But it also sounds pricey, about $1,000 for the system including a box of sensors. Extra boxes of (6) sensors run about $375.
My blog has a post about the FreeStyle Navigator announcement. I’ll update that as I learn more.
LOL at this post. I guess if this is possible, then maybe I’ll be getting a job in the next couple of days, because both of these things seemed to be taking WAAAAY longer than necessary.
Bernard: I received the press release just moment after posting this… and I have to admit (as I’m sure you saw from Twitter) that it was a terrible press release! They really need an editor. This announcement has been three years in the making and while I don’t think this will solve all the problems, I do think it’s exciting that the third competitor is finally in the market.
Hannah: I sure hope so!
