Overall: So far so good, article passed minimum length criterion and newness. Source spot checks indicate good results, though I don't think every product name needs to be bolded? I would AGF on the interpretation that "first real-time factory-calibrated CGM system" means "without requiring calibrations". I also endorse the ALT0 hook, though I think it would be much more compact if you end the hook at "...calibrations" (no need for the "thereby eliminating the need for regular fingerstick blood tests?"). Approved! Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 04:32, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Pulled per concerns raised at WT:DYK#Queue 5 (7 May, 00:00). A new hook will be needed here, one that is less likely to be challenged and also one that may not be perceived as advertising. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 may be better, it is easily verifiable and just as interesting. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 13:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
