Pittsburg, Kansas | Not cheap. Around 300-500 a month.

If I get one some day what I will do is use it periodically. Not full time. Might use it for a month to begin with to see how certain foods, meals, exercise affects me. Then might not use it ever again or might use it if somehow my lifestyle or health changes where I feel the need to monitor it again for a while.
That would be quite a different use than an insulin dependent diabetic either type I or type II would need. They would more likely depend on it on a regular basis. I would just use it to evaluate what I am doing and see if anything needs to change. Then if I do change something see how effective the change is.
The other thing I have been thinking is it is a computer sensor technology. It likely will get cheaper with time unless the companies can keep a monopoly on the technology and keep it priced at medical levels. If it gets to be a consumer item I suspect those sensors should cost no more than ten or twenty dollars to make. The one wife and I tried from a friend we just used our phone to monitor. So no cost there. But we will see. The manufacturers are going to keep prices and profit margins high if they can.
