1. Does this actually measure blood glucose, or is it just estimating?
The NoStick reads blood glucose, heart rate, and SpO2 from your fingertip using optical sensing technology. No blood draw or test strips are required.
2. How accurate is it?
It's designed for everyday personal health monitoring. We recommend comparing your first few readings with a traditional glucometer and consulting your healthcare provider for clinical decisions.
3. How is this different from a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor)?
CGMs require a prescription, cost $60–$90+ per sensor every 2 weeks, and involve wearing an adhesive patch on your body. The NoStick is affordable, requires no prescription, no adhesive, and no ongoing sensor cost — just clip and read whenever you need a check.
4. Does it hurt?
Not at all. There are no needles, no lancets, and nothing that touches your skin beyond a light clip on your fingertip.
5. Can people without diabetes use it?
Yes — it’s great for anyone who wants to keep an eye on their blood sugar as part of a general health routine.
6. Can multiple people in a household use the same device?
Yes — since it uses optical sensing with no consumable parts, the device can be used by multiple people.
7. How long does the battery last?
Battery life depends on frequency of use. The device uses standard replaceable batteries.
8. Is it FDA-approved?
The NoStick is a personal wellness monitoring device. As with all non-prescription health devices, we recommend using it as part of your regular health routine alongside your doctor’s guidance.
