iCan Health

This is my first time using iCan i3. So far, the MAPD which is 8.71% is quite accurate. However, I still find it lacking as there’s no option to use the iCan App on the Apple Watch compared to other CGMs like Dexcom and Freestyle Libre via GlucoWatch. It’s great that it’s MORE affordable compared to other CGMs, but the inconveniences are there. Cons of this CGM: 1. Doesn’t work with Apple Watch 2. It takes 2 hours for it to “warm up” compared to Freestyle Libre which is only 60mins. 3. It’s extremely difficult to install it. The lock feature is ridiculous. Compared to Freestyle Libre where you only need to push it into the skin and you’re good. 4. Sinocare should seriously make this available to use in the Apple Watch as well. It’s like they gave us a great app, but stopping short of being perfect. Pros of this CGM: 1. Affordable! Least expensive one in the market!!! 2. It lasts for 15 Days which is INCREDIBLE! 3. Not painful at all and the adhesive doesn’t irritate my skin.

There is no option to add an event for blood glucose. That is very important especially when you’re comparing readings.

If you entered incorrect info, you just have to enter a new event and leave the wrong on there

I’ve been encountering errors when trying to pair my device. I tried different phones, different accounts, even different countries. I couldn’t reset the app or log out, so I had to delete and reinstall it. Despite this, I still couldn’t add the device and ended up stuck in an endless loop. Off to the landfill.
