#“only use scissors to open packaging if you're sure you won't touch it”

To the geniuses who design blood glucose monitors,

if you're gonna design a product that runs on button cell batteries that only come in safety packaging, for the love of all that is good in this world, don't just stop at making the battery compartment spring loaded. Include a battery status monitor that gives a warning before someone needs to get their fasting blood sugar and has potentially already stabbed themselves and wasted a test strip.

Just a little beep after the last viable test will do.

Yes, I know CGMs exist. They are, at the time of writing, not accurate enough to do away with their predecessors unless someone is only diabetic and taking only diabetes medication. And 35 bucks a week. And defeated by bluetooth errors.

Kind regards, Massive side eye,

Done with this shit
