Ok, so not looking to debate value of a CGM or anything like that. I am just wondering how/if people here in the US get these. Is it a "wink, wink" with your GP who prescribes it based on A1c levels or somethings? or ebay from overseas?
You can get them without prescription in Canada. At least you can get the Abbott FreeStyle Libre although I do not know if any sports apps work with the generic version.
Definitely value for diabetics. Probably value for people that do not have a "perfect" glucose response and there are probably a lot more of these people than we suspect. Questionable value for a person that has a well working system.
You can get a box of normal test strips and determine pretty quickly how well or poorly your glucose response is.
