The Monitor is a self contained
device that incorporates two sensors located on the rear of
the product, styled like a wristwatch.
The sensors, when in contact
with the skin of the wrist or ankle respond to perspiration
and body temperature (cold sweats), two common symptoms of
low blood sugar.
The alarm is triggered upon
the detection of perspiration or a decrease in skin
temperature, two common symptoms associated with
hypoglycemia.

|
The built in vibrator operates along
with a tone beeper alarm. The persistent vibration from the
alarm is sufficient to disturb most users from sleep enabling
remedial action to be taken. |
The Monitor is for use when
sleeping, it is not designed or intended to be used as a
daytime alarm. It has a comfortable adjustable elastic strap
that exerts sufficient pressure to hold the sensors firmly
against the skin. |
|
The Monitor
is worn on the wrist or ankle which sounds an audible alarm
and vibrates to wake those people with insulin dependent
diabetes who suffer from nocturnal hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar while sleeping) commonly referred to as an insulin
reaction and either don't wake up, or don't wake up soon
enough to take corrective action.
|
Operation of the product is very
easy and with confirmation beeps for button operation,
making it usable by sight impaired people.
The only
on-going costs to maintain the product is periodic
replacement of the lithium 3 Volt battery, probably twice a
year.
|
The Monitor
is designed to indicate the symptoms of low blood sugars. It
does this by sensing increased perspiration along with a
drop in body temperature. It does not detect or indicate
blood sugar levels. For the majority of people experiencing
a hypo, there is a drop in body temperature with increased
perspiration. If you do not suffer these symptoms the
monitor may not be suitable for you.
|
* Hypoglycemia symptoms are
unique to each person and this device does not detect
hypoglycemia, only the 2 common symptoms.
Appearance may
vary to photo above.
