Essentially, you stick a sensor on your outside bicep and scan it using a monitor or your smartphone. The sensor needs to be replaced every so often (I think 2 weeks), but that's about it. No constantly lancing your fingers and playing with test strips.
The major drawback is that it may be cost prohibitive. They are available at any major pharmacy.

Nice idea...but its preventative right now and not required on a regular basis.
In jut started on a prescription of metformin (sp ?) and my doctor suggest I get one to occasionally test my blood sugars as well.
2 - 3 time a week maybe.
Whats this about a free tester if you buy your strips there ???
