DECN- The strip business is going to be lucrative for the foreseeable future. Most of these gadgets won't end up working and the cost is prohibitive. Even if you pay the cost for the Dexcom G5 you have to use 3 strips a day because it isn't as accurate as a meter. In addition to that you can't take certain drugs because it will malfunction the Dexcom, Tylenol or anything with acetaminophen for example will cause it to stop working but doesn't affect the regular blood glucose meter reading.
