    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.

        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.
