And that's not all—I still have several days of meetings to attend. It's a strange time to see CES so packed with homegrown medical technology. The coronavirus pandemic prompted a surge in digital health innovations, but that's due in 2024. an account-CNBC analyzed 39 digital health public companies and noted that two-thirds of them were closed for the year, or even went out of business.

When I spoke to Abbott representatives, I learned I wasn't the only one who was hesitant about putting filaments under my skin. (I'm still waiting for my apple watch To track my blood sugar.)

Still, I finally pulled myself together and put the lingo into Pepcom. Under the careful guidance of Abbott representatives, I pulled up the sleeves of my shirt, inserted the sensor into the dispenser and applied it to my skin. It proceeded with a click. The sensation was like someone was nudging my arm with a finger – a slight prick, but not like a thousand needles of fire were going under my skin.

I connected the sensor to the Lingo app and wore it overnight. When I woke up this morning, I discovered – after one night – I became hypoglycemic in my sleep. I'm getting worse at CES from walking too much and not eating enough! So much for not giving actionable advice. I'll eat my words (and a snack before going to bed).
