Average Rating:

The FDA is currently reviewing a continuous glucose monitoring system from Abbott, the "FreeStyle Navigator." The CGM device, if approved, will join the CGM systems currently offered by Medtronic and Dexcom.

Abbott's system has already received the European CE (Conformité Européenne) mark of approval, which allows the company to market the device in Europe.

This is old news...

Posted by Elmira Viking on 13 February 2008

I agree. In a few months, we won't hear any more of this.

Posted by anonymous on 13 February 2008

How does something this old get published?

Posted by anonymous on 15 February 2008

It's about time some type of continuous monitoring device comes out. The meters they have now are worthless and are there to make money for those that manufacture them.

Posted by anonymous on 28 March 2008

I hope it is more accurate than the Dexcom or the Medtronic ones.
