2025-02-16

This post details the author's journey in finding the right phone for their child, Sam, who needs continuous blood glucose monitoring. They initially used the Pixel 4a 5G for its large screen, but as Sam became more mobile, a smaller, more rugged phone was needed. For over two years, the Cubot King Kong Mini 3 served as Sam's dedicated "pancreas phone," but its discontinuation necessitates a replacement. A temporary, inexpensive Smart E25 was purchased in an emergency, highlighting its poor quality. The author seeks recommendations for a durable replacement, sharing their experience in finding the right technology for their child's healthcare needs.
