That's awesome to hear. Ain't gonna lie, I totally want one too, but I can't get a prescription for it since I'm not diabetic. It's totally cool to see blood sugar in real time though, to learn your body with.

The user has to allow it from the settings.
The widget you need is "Email"
My messages have it, his don't.
(offtopic: I sent you one on the other thread after you said that for the name, but I got an automatic message that your email server rejected it)

Thanks man. Except I don't see the link for you either. Guess this means I'm getting old.

Go figure, it's just a gmail address associated with my CP account. Guess Google is controlling what we see in more ways than one.

Mmmm... now that you tell it, I recall a conversation in the B&S Forum about it, it might have been deactivated, and I can still see it due to the Protector Badge.

Or even when I can see, if it was deactivated by CP, then it is not possible to contact privatelly anymore. Because if I recall it correctly, the message didn't come from Google.

My eldest son has been wearing one for a couple of years. If only some of these items had been around 45 years ago when he was first diagnosed.

GCMs are pretty cool. I'd wear one if I could get a prescription for it. They also have continuous monitors for your ketones too. But, they're cool in the fact they really help you learn your body.

Based on my experience being married to a long-time diabetic, you don't want your health insurance to be aware that your are using a glucose monitor unless you are actually a diabetic. That sets all sorts of flags related to benefits and pharmacological eligibility.
It's why I spend a fair amount of my free time "Cranking The Machineβ’", the process of talking to my insurance provider about why they should pay for procedures or medications that they think are inadvisable based on my wife's medical history. Her doctors know better than the data entry monkey (or AI now) who says no.

I'm not sure what I can get away with saying on CP, but I'll just say I'm not a fan of our medical industry... both providers and insurance. It's more like a mafia than an industry that cares about people's health.

100%... to be fair it's both the hospital and insurance companies that are to blame for this mess. There be a ton of doctors who don't do jack for their patients. Always buyer beware it seems.

I've had a GCM sensor for about 6 years now. I think it has extendend life and my quality of life. Knowing what my approximate glucose reading is at the moment is useful, but seeing where it is trending has been invaluable in preventing highs and lows.
Sucks that USA insurance companies are resistent to approve them.

They are good, just expensive @ AU $110/fortnight.

Agreed.
It would be useful if the price would drop further as they are adopted as standard.
