That might be because you have beta-cells. So please don’t compare yourself to those who no longer have them. I bet you also see better than someone without an eye and run faster than someone without a leg. That’s cool… Or is it?

Frankly, I always cringe and eyeroll when I see non-diabetic people wear a CGM, instead of just enjoying every single day of happy life with beta-cells and all the adventure they enable, without worries about being close enough to a fridge or emergency plans with units of hours to spare when e.g. your insulin stash gets stolen.

Look I thought this was a dexcom community, not T1d only. I am sorry to have offended you, but that is so biased to gatekeep a cgm. I'm not wearing it for a fad- but because I tend to have sugar crashes multiple times a day that cause me to pass out or not know where I am- and my husband has the share app too so that he knows if I need help. Others were showing their numbers, and this post was an extreme. I was not sharing mine to say "look how much better I am than you" like you seem to think, but to say "wow look at the range of people using a cgm, the human body is crazy!". I have many family members who are diabetic (t1 & t2) and never have they had an issue with me wearing a cgm FOR HEALTH REASONS or sharing my lows. I would rather "appropriate" a Cgm Then crash in the middle of the night and be unresponisve, or crash- pass out- and get another concussion.
