what on earth?? So you're upset because people are using these monitors to AVOID the "horrific chronic disease" you have? You yourself said it is "soul crushing" and "exhausting". Why would you even think this way? Also where do you get off saying it's for "rich people"? I'm going to assume you wrote this during a time of high frustration. But please give some thought to what I just said.

First of all, T1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that cannot be prevented. And it is horrific and requires literal constant management for the rest of your life to avoid complications and early death. You cannot take a day off. You can’t just eat the right things and exercise.

I’m the original PP who finds it distasteful. I’m not upset, I just think it’s distasteful. It’s like choosing to have a feeding tube when you don’t need one so you can control the amount of calories you take in so you can lose weight. Just kind of weird.

Ahh, I see. You think that T2 is purely a moral failing. Look, I get that T1 sucks, and that you’re jealous of people with T2 and angry that they can “just eat the right things and exercise”. You think they don’t deserve any support to help them achieve an end that is, unfairly, not achievable for you.

Well, you’re entitled to your opinion, I guess. And I’m entitled to find it distasteful that you sneer at people who are using every tool they can to avoid the destruction of their beta cells. Whatever helps people control their blood sugar, preserve their pancreatic functions, and avoid diabetes is good for them and good for society. Everyone should have access to tools that help them stay healthy, even if you think there’s a morally superior way for them to get there.

I literally posted right above this that I would never tell a T2 diabetic that it’s their fault or they only need to eat right and exercise to prevent their diabetes. But it’s a fact that the vast majority have the option to do so and not be insulin dependent! I’m definitely not jealous because T2 diabetics face a much bigger and IMO unfair stigma.

Why are you so mad? I’m not hoarding the CGMs.

So why did you feel the need to drop into this thread to tell people how weird and distasteful it is for prediabetics to use a CGM to help them avoid T2?

Did you notice this is in the diet and exercise forum? So it follows that the discussion is about using the CGM as a diet and weight loss tool. That’s what PP is criticizing.

NP: So much cross messaging and confusion on this thread...frankly I think it's due to this new hidden message window thing that's now happening when you're quoting someone. It gets very confusing because people are not able to see the whole conversation unless they go to that hidden link. People are misinterpreting a lot of what is said, not just on this thread but on a lot of threads where there's a lot of back and forth. I don't like that new feature at all!

Why not? It's just a tool. People use scale to measure weight and food, fitness trackers to monitor activity, heart rate, sleep patterns, even oxigen level. Why not to include blood sugar levels?
I don't get the point of pp who criticizes it - are we in USSR with CBM shortages when they have to be distributed to select few?

The set of people who are “dieting and trying to lose weight” and the set of people who are “prediabetic and trying to avoid diabetes” has considerable overlap. So I guess it’s weird and distasteful to use a CGM if you do not have impaired fasting glucose, and kind of OKish if you do. Glad someone showed up to clarify that.

How about you just let people use whatever tools help them to take better care of their bodies? I can’t imagine dropping into a thread in a diet and weight loss forum just to criticize people who are trying to improve their health.

I’m really curious why you’re so defensive about this. 2, maybe 3 T1 diabetics very lightly criticized the use of CGM as a diet and weight loss tool. For folks who have no choice but to constantly monitor their blood glucose or else they will literally die, it makes us roll our eyes to see people playing with it to lose weight like it’s not an expensive medical device. No one is trying to stop you from using it. Why does that bother you so much?

I find it funny. So, not only you criticize my opinion on using tools, you also decided to criticize that I express it here?? Seriously? And I'm the one bothered here?

Not the poster you’re replying to, but it’s weird that you’re trying to flip it around to redirect this conversation to how PP is being “defensive” about your “light criticism”. You dropped by to sneer at the way other people take care of their health. The fact that you will DIEEEEEEE without your CGM has nothing to do with this discussion, and it certainly doesn’t give you license to “lightly criticize” without being called on it.

As someone who was diabetic and is currently not diabetic, who for a while, tested every hour, half-hour for hours after eating various snacks and meals, and know what my body, including insulin response and sensitivity does, I think it's ridiculous and a bit distasteful that this is broadening from tech-bro-body-hack (yes, they've been doing this for years) to slightly-more-mainstream.

I'm a little curious about the poster on the first page who called it terrifying. But not that curious.

I think the healthier thing for all of you to do would be to eat less, move more, and put the tech away. For the small number of people for whom T2 is truly unavoidable, live your as-of-yet-not-diabetic life as a nondiabetic, until the time comes when you cannot. Living like a diabetic when it's not necessary? Why?

I felt that I needed to shake things up. I listen to Dr. Mark Hyman podcast and he is obsessed with insulin levels. I'm struggling with hunger even when I think I've eaten enough. Trying to strategize about timing of meals etc. Every person responds differently to different foods. Supposedly it can prompt you to do certain things like exercise for 10 minutes if you have an insulin spike.

I'm a devotee of the Oura Ring too for sleep issues. I think I might have COVID - it showed a slight temperature increase. You can AMA about it.

Testing is sticking yourself with a lancet. Not using a CGM. I don't test now because I'm not diabetic now.

You can do whatever you want. And I can have opinions about it.

There is no cure for diabetic. How did you do that?

She’s an idiot who thinks that gestational diabetes is the same thing as T1 or T2 diabetes.

Urging pre-diabetics to live as non-diabetics is just stupid. It is a fact that prediabetics can, by controlling their glucose response, slow the destruction of their beta cells and delay or sometimes even prevent their conversion to T2 diabetes. I cannot imagine why anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge about diabetes would think otherwise.

For myself (this is the case for some but not all T2 diabetics), I am diabetic above X weight and not diabetic below X weight.

Thanks for the tip. I just listened to her on a podcast. Going to implement some of her suggestions - timing of foods, vinegar, exercise after eating etc.
