Sinocare iCan CGM Covers - Waterproof & Breathable CGM Patches, Pack of 10 Premium Adhesive Patches, Non-Woven Fabric Materials

Brilliant service had a faulty sensor which was swapped no issues. And a lot cheaper than the others. Very happy. One minor moan it would be nice if the app could estimate HBA1C. But that is minor

Type 2 Diabetic. Had a severe illness over last 2 weeks and unable to eat. I dipped in and out of hyperglycaemia and severe hypers quite a few times, docs were skeptic and so decided to buy one of these to show them I wasn't lying. First day after calibration, (I checked 3 or 4 times against finger prick test) worked brilliantly. Had it positioned on my arm. Went to bed, woke up and still all good. I set the warning threshold a little higher so I could take action before I dipped low. Around 11am on second day it started alarming every few minutes and on checking, I had dipped to 2.1. Then it went LOW (unregisterable). Since then it has remained at low, although spraodially goes back up, only to return to low almost immediately. I acted on the first two or three warnings and grabbed a glucose tab (still unable to eat) or a quick shot of lucozade sport. 4th warning, I decided to do finger prick and I was well into 18mmol. I rechecked it against the finger prick test and it was sonout it wasn't worth wearing. Contacted customer service on pc (it doesn't work in the app) and still waiting on reply. £50 to monitor my levels for one day. I was so hopeful for this to work as I was planning on buying one every two weeks as it's easier to manage my levels than by remembering what I have or haven't eaten or drank.

The ican sensor is easy to fit and maintain, all you have to remember is that the warming up period can take up to 24 hrs to settle in and give accurate reading. Just use your standard blood sugar testing process and fully switch over when you are happy. Mine has become invaluable to help control my Diabetes making my day to day life much more enjoyable. Lifespan is as expected, 2 weeks and replace, connectivity is as expected and to enhance the stickiness I back it up with some circular patches which solves any unwanted accidents.

The iCan seems to be working and reacts to food stimuli as my blood sugar rises and falls. It's a good way of monitoring the effect of different foods on blood sugar GI responses. However, when compared to my old finger prickly blood monitor there is a significant difference between readings, on one occasion the iCan indicated 4.5mmol and my finger prickly monitor indicated 8.5mmol. Not sure which one is the right reading. It was easy to set up and put on and keeps a constant track throughout the day and night. On balance I will buy again.

Utterly useless. I purchased 2. The first one failed after 4 days. When I started using it I checked it's accuracy against my (Sinocare) finger prick tester. The CGM showed 13.3 finger test 8.4. After 4 days it started continuously reporting extremely low readings. 3.2, finger test 5.8. Readings down to 2.2 when I know that it was ridiculous. I've now ended the first, 9 days early. Fitted the new one, following the instructions to the letter. But the app cannot find the device, even though my phone is within 6 meters, more like 60cm. I WILL NEVER BUY THESE DEVICES AGAIN. Two failed within 5 days of use and absolutely no response from Sinocare after emailing and messaging on X. Once bitten, twice shy. UPDATE: The second device finally picked up after 10-12 hours. But like the first, after 4 days it started reporting extremely low blood sugar. Check with finger prick test and it was way out. I then purchased Libre 2 sensors. So with both running the iCan device was much lower than the Libre 2. Example, Libre 2 5.6mmol/L, iCan 2.1 mmol/L. That is useless in my opinion. I have just done a finger prick test 8.1. Libre 2 9.0. iCan 4.0. How can it be 5 lower. It is wildly inaccurate. Totally unimpressive.

Found this product very helpful in keeping my diabetes levels in order. Will continue to use them.

Great product

I've been wearing the first of my two censor pack now for almost 48hrs. I'm not diabetic, using it for human optimisation I guess. I've now tested myself 3 times with a finger prick tester while fasted and verified that my CGM appears to over estimate my glucose levels by 30 mg/dL.... Seems very unreliable, I guess I'm glad though to find it's a faulty device instead of me having severe insulin resistance
