Continuous Glucose Monitors
« on: June 27, 2025, 02:30:51 PM »
Thinking about trying one for awhile to see what foods effect my glucose levels and how much?
Taking a salamander-your-finger [ hilarious what the bad word filter did there  :) ] stick-your-finger break would be nice also!

Opinions on ones you use?  Cost, ease of use, monitoring [ I have an iPhone 8 Plus.  :old:], anything I should consider?

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

What would be really nice would be a keytone\glucose dual tracker.

libre3 did not work with my Samsung Xcover and my Iphone kept killing sensors. I still have 2 sensors left but they have been discontinued and replaced by the Libre 3 plus. Mine came with it's own monitor that I plan on using ... Unfortunately it's one more device I have to carry.

I would compare to alternatives and see which work best for you and what your health care provider is willing to pay for.
