Sleep Sentry® for Hypoglycemia
10/1/08 manufacturer is temporarily out of stock. More should be available in the near future.
$429.00
Sleep Sentry®
is a device worn on the wrist which is intended for use by individuals with insulin dependent diabetes who have insulin reactions while asleep, and don't wake up soon enough to appropriately help themselves.
Sleep Sentry®
does not detect hypoglycemia, but monitors the two symptoms that are commonly associated with the presence of hypoglycemia; perspiration and a drop in skin temperature (cold sweat). The presence of either of these physical signs triggers an audible alarm. These two symptoms are commonly referred to as an insulin reaction. Patients with diabetes who take insulin and have a history of past episodes of severe hypoglycemia should be considered candidates for
Sleep Sentry®
.
Dr. Julio Santiago, professor of pediatrics at the Washington University in St. Louis, says that before you decide one way or the other (to purchase the
Sleep Sentry®
), consider this:
"Patients with past episodes of severe hypoglycemia must decide if an 80% to 90% chance of a 'true positive' alarm is worth the inconvenience of an occasional (1 to 2 per month) 'false positive' alarm…
There is no perfect device to eliminate the danger of severe hypoglycemia.
Patients who take insulin and have a history of past episodes of severe hypoglycemia should be considered candidates for the
Sleep Sentry®
. Patients without a history of severe nocturnal hypoglycemia may also benefit from the
Sleep Sentry®
, depending on the personal inconvenience associated with false alarms."
Sleep Sentry's ®
new features include a light, modernized case design, long life battery, and adjustable strap.
Sleep Sentry®
comes complete, ready to wear and has a 1 year warranty. Battery replacement is normally every 6 months. This item cannot be returned for credit.
