Getting a saliva sample sounds messier than blood too. I'd rather more invasive but longer term stuff. Something implantable like eversense but more accurate and no calibrations needed ever would be better than changing a sensor every 10 days and waiting for it to be accurate.

I said messier, I know it's not harder. It's definitely less effort.
