1. Attaching the monitor to your skin is purely a painless process using qn applicator. There is a detailed booklet that comes with the Trial Pack; 2. While Abbott does not indicate the ideal spot on where to inject the monitor, it is wise not to inject at softer tissue part under your forearm because it becomes a painful process of removing the monitor from sensitive skin after 15 days. 3. The monitor has an ear-piercing alarm (rightfully so) alerting high glucose spikes as well as hypoglycaemic events. The point is there is no functionality for an interface to adjust the alarm volume. 4. Overall a very useful, helpful and accurate monitoring obviating the use of finger prick blood testing.
