Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared for marketing the first over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor.

    Info from the manufacturer: Stelo, indicating it’ll be on the market this summer.

    At the risk of sounding like a bio-hacker, CGM systems can provide a fascinating insight into you body and how you process foods. And for me, it’s easier to convince myself of behavior changes with numerical data as opposed to just how I feel.

    Glad to see it’s from Dexcom, they’ve been more reliable (for me at least) than FreeStyle.

        They might, I’ve only had FreeStyle and Dexcom.

        FreeStyle was all over the place. One sensor might be +100 too high or -100 too low. No calibration.

        Dexcom is occasionally off, but easy enough to fix with a calibration reading.

        A 365 day meter would be cool. It gets tiring swapping every 10 days.
