Question

I am an Indian citizen working in Saudi Arabia who has had diabetes for three years. My blood sugar level is going very high day by day, and it is beyond control. So, I would like to purchase the GlucoWatch.

Answer

Information on the GlucoWatch G2 Biographer may be obtained from their website. The GlucoWatch is only currently available in the U.S. and the UK by prescription only.

At the manufacturer's website, it states:

The G2 Biographer is currently available only in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. If you reside outside these countries, you can provide your contact information at the Sign-up screen and Cygnus, Inc. will send you an information package when the G2 Biographer becomes available in your country.

Please keep in mind that using a GlucoWatch does not replace self monitoring of blood glucose by more conventional methods. Using this device still requires frequent monitoring by fingersticks to calibrate the device.

It appears to me that your treatment plan needs to be carefully evaluated by professionals who can assist you in devising a regimen conducive to your lifestyle that will optimize blood glucose control. You do not say what type of diabetes you have, but that makes little difference. If it's out of control, you should seek assistance from an endocrinologist at the least and preferably a diabetes team.
