(Disclaimer) Just my opinion as someone who has been diabetic for ages and been on CGM for just over a couple of weeks….
Ok CGM is not a perfect science….however with trend arrows (i.e how fast your sugar is falling or rising) and an idea of what your sugar is I have been able to avoid hypos, and it also means I get a warning even earlier than when I feel it (as I set my sensor a bit higher than just 4), so you either avoid or are hypo for less time…and the hypo for less time is proven in proper research rather than just my research that tells me it is possible to use CGM to avoid hypos (plus crunching all that data it gives you will enable you to work out your doses better and thus prevent hypos…and it stops nasty hypos in the night)
I've just started on a dexcom to avoid night hypos and for me it works brilliantly at that, so that I am able to go to bed lower than I would feel comfortable doing normally as I know it will wake me if something does go wrong and hopefully this will mean that my HBA1cs are lower too as a result.
