What does the accuracy figure mean?

MARD is the average gap between what the sensor says and what a laboratory blood test says, as a percentage. A 10% MARD means readings are off by about 10% on average — so a true 7.0 mmol/L might show as anywhere around 6.3 to 7.7. Lower is better. Most current sensors sit under 10%; twenty years ago they were over 20%. No sensor is exact, which is why treatment decisions still get confirmed with a fingerstick when a reading does not match how you feel.

The least you can spend to wear one sensor for its full life. For subscription products it is one month, because you cannot buy less.

Estimated from the sensor price and its wear time, assuming continuous use.

What works well

  • Two sensors a month included, so there is no gap between wears
  • Coaching and food-logging built around the readings rather than raw numbers alone
  • Ships with protective patches, which matters if you exercise with a sensor on

What to watch out for

  • You are paying a subscription premium over buying the same Abbott sensor directly
  • It is a programme, not a device: cancel and the readings stop
  • No alarms, and no accuracy figure of its own

Our verdict

A wrapper around Abbott sensors with software and coaching on top. Judge it on whether the coaching is worth the markup, because the hardware underneath is the same sensor you can buy on its own.

The hardware is identical. The difference is the app, the coaching and the subscription.
