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?

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.

I use the libre 3 plus, and an app on my smart phone. Usually within 15 points of a finger stick, means I get to keep my a1c down. Downside, very easy to get obsessed with keeping your glucose way down.

Having to inject insulin sucks, but beats the alternative.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.
