Type 2 CGM an OTT solution for me?

[johnrubinstein]

is it over the top to use a CGM solution when I’m T2, diagnosed in 2017 and so far been able to stay off meds on account of exercise and diet. It’s just that I e noticed my BG levels creeping up a tad. Last week I invested in Dexcom One (three month bundle): it’s giving me a fuller picture of eg. fluctuations. And I think I’ve been able to make better food decisions. But really, am I being OTT?

In a word ‘no!’ You are using available tools to take control of your health. Well done I say.

I'm a T2 who used the original Libre 1s for a while as well as using a meter to test. The sensors both confirmed what I was learning from my meter and gave me a much more detailed overall understanding of what was going on. This insight has enabled me to go and remain medication free at pre diabetic levels since 2017 . So for me it's been a vital tool and I hope it will be the same for you.
