I wish they could come up with these cool devices for CAH patients!

I just read a "Prevention" Magazine. It is a health magazine.  They have a new device for diabetes patients. It is called the "Guardian Continuous Glucose Monitoring System".  It is a round the clock blood sugar monitor that works like a smoke detector-beeping loudly if blood sugar plummets or skyrockets-could help kids and adults with diabetes avoid dangerous complications. (and let diabetics, and those who care for them, sleep easier.) The Guardian Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, recently okayed by the FDA, uses a sensor to sample sugar levels in the liquid in the fat layer between muscle and skin. Info is transmitted to a beeper-size wireless monitor. It tracks changes diabetics can’t feel until it’s too late; low blood sugar that can cause fainting, even coma, and high blood sugar that can damage kidneys, eyes, and nerves. -article by Sari Harrar

 

Now why can’t someone research this and find out a way we can work this into maintaining CAH? Just a thought I had to pass on to you guys.
