However, when you use the manual test function there is a considerable variation between sequential test results (far more than occurs on the graph or reported in the app)
In the end, however, I know that my blood sugar has been reasonably static today firstly because I am not eating that much (30g of chia seeds in some cordial at 11am). Secondly, because I am running a Dexcom G7 which confirms that.
Interestingly the manual test results I took have now gone through to the app. However, it is some distance from producing usable results.
So you can see bumps in the E500 charts when I asked it to do a āmeasurementā. I am not clear myself as to the extent to which the āmeasurementsā are not affected by the desire of the watch to report three meals a day.
To reiterate I had some chia seeds at 11am yesterday and although I had some cups of tea with milk, but without sugar (although the first of the day has collagen peptides and vanillin) I was essentially fasting. I also took some Rapamycin and 300mg of Melatonin during the night (might as well really push for autophagy).
Hence the Dexcom charts are based in reality and the E500/hBand charts appear to be unaffected by reality beyond me running tests from time to time where I am not sure that the tests are affected by that much beyond the time of the day.
It is a bit sad because otherwise the E100 is quite an impressive watch. I suppose, however, that people would not buy the advanced watch without the glucose monitoring. Caveat emptor.
I also started to think that the wafeform is made up in many cases. I do get the truncation of the lobes when I take the watch out for changing during a lobe. But the rest of the waveforms are so much the same day after day that is not funny. I did calibrate the glucose readings using the private mode. After doing that, at least my fasting readings are consistant with the CGM Dexcom 6 and the pricle samples.
Nevertheless, I wonder!!. If the fasting values are always going to be the same, day after day, they can well be made up. Raises, peaks and falls dont ever coincide. I thought it would be a timing issue due to sampling and averaging but it is hard to believe.
I had a donut after 4pm, well before dinner. The peak showed up as usual after dinner 3 hrs later. No good
I started using Hband with a E400 watch, today and the glucose monitor shows a bump at 10 am but I was fasting I didnāt even drink water. I took measurements with the glucometer to compare and those donāt match.
I concur, the watch is IMOH using a look-up table for a typical 24 hour blood glucose profile.
I bought one and then had to challenge the seller over the āaccuracyā of the blood glucose measurement. I did a 24 hour fast whilst wearing the watch and a Freestyle Libre 2 sensor
Guess which one I believe inā¦. Iāll give you a clue. itās not the E500
