Seeking participants? That link says that they’re fully enrolled. Did it fill up that fast or what? ---

I saw this number discrepancy this afternoon and thought it was funny. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/5/5a282fd68cf5824c2c4befaca2d682294bf97d68.jpeg) A future closed loop conversation happening at my house… > **CGM** - Captain!

I occasionally see numbers like that, and it’s almost always the meter that seems off. But, I’ll wash my hands well with soap and retest, and almost always the meter then tracks more closely. ---

I’m with you Eric. Cgm technologies MUST improve and become more accurate for any loop system to be truly effective (and not potentially kill you). We see this all the time also in our house and the reason we do so many finger sticks. ---

Last month the Dutch health insurance overlords finally decided that the Freestyle Libre should be covered for everyone with T1D, but simultaneously they reduced test strip coverage for Libre users to 200 per _year_. 🤷‍♂️ ![](https://media.tenor.com/images/1e450fe8f5b7db1333919ba812cc20c4/tenor.gif) > [@ClaudnDaye](#): > > Cgm technologies MUST improve and become more accurate for any loop system to be truly effective (and not potentially kill you). I agree. A Dutch company developing a dual-hormone artificial pancreas even uses 2 CGM sensors for safety reasons I believe. If the sensors differ too much, the system prompts the user to do a finger stick. As far as I know, they’re using Medtronic Enlite sensors, no clue why they picked that one. CGM technologies really must improve, because I for one wouldn’t be thrilled to wear 2 sensors and 2 infusion sites all the time. ---

Medtronic enlites are nothing but random number generators. ---

That’s less than a month for me!! 🤦‍♂️ We are going backwards… ![giphy](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/f/f8d5db1be8470d38de17c8bef7da4a7ff584e1fa.gif)
