Sinocare iCan i3 CGM — 15-Day Continuous Glucose Monitor

Really helped with my Type 2 management

Been using it for about 6 weeks now. Took a few days to get used to the app but once I figured it out, it's been genuinely useful. No more finger pricks every morning which is a relief. My last HbA1c was better than expected so something is working.

Overnight alerts are the main reason I bought this

Had a bad hypo last year while sleeping and it scared me. Got this specifically for the overnight alerts. It's gone off twice now when my levels dropped and woke me up in time. That alone makes it worth it for me.

Good but the warm-up wait is annoying

Overall I'm happy with it. The application is painless which I was worried about. My main gripe is the hour-long warm-up after you apply it — you just have to wait with no readings. Once it's going though it's pretty reliable.

Eye-opening for someone newly diagnosed

I had no idea how much certain foods were spiking my glucose until I started wearing this. Rice was a big surprise. I've changed my diet quite a bit based on what I've seen and my GP is pleased with the results.

18 years with Type 1 — this is decent

I've tried a few CGMs over the years. This one is good value for the price. The accuracy is not quite on par with the more expensive options but it's close enough for day-to-day management. App is a bit basic but functional.

Brilliant for running with Type 1

Being able to see my glucose trend during a run has changed how I train. I know when to take a gel and when I'm fine to push on. Stayed on through rain and sweat no problem. Really pleased with this purchase.

My son helped me set it up — works well

I'm 71 and not great with technology. My son set it up for me and now he can see my readings on his phone too which gives us both peace of mind. The device itself is simple once it's running. Setup was a bit fiddly.

Made Ramadan so much less stressful

Managing my glucose during fasting used to mean finger pricks which felt like breaking my fast. With this I could monitor all day without that. It was a genuinely different experience this year. Very grateful for this product.

Setup took ages, works fine once running

Spent nearly two hours getting it connected to my phone. The instructions weren't very clear and I had to watch a YouTube video in the end. Once it was set up it worked well but that first experience put me off a bit.
