[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of y’all are going to be [i]so mad[/i] when Abbott’s Lingo comes to market.

If you’re against wearables for weight loss because diabetics need CGMs to survive, then I imagine you’re also against weight loss drugs (because some people need pharmaceuticals to survive) and weight loss surgery (because some people need surgery to survive).  So wrong to help people with technology when it’s sooo simple and all they gotta do is close the chip bag and move more, amirite?[/quote]

Body hack your way to perfect health!  A CGM or continuous ketone monitor will make those pounds just melt away.

That's the reason you couldn't do it before.  Lack of a CGM.[/quote]

It’s unclear to me if you think that CGMs don’t actually work for weight loss, and are making fun of people who think that they will help, or that they [i]do[/i] work but you find the use of them morally inferior to doing it via willpower alone, and are therefore grabbing this opportunity on the diet and exercise forum to sneer at the weak-willed fatties.

The first one means you lack information, and the second one just means that you’re a terrible person, or maybe a decent person who is having a terrible-person moment. Which is it? Do you think it’s a scam that doesn’t work and are laughing at the suckers? Or do you think it does work but that it’s a tool that shouldn’t be available to overweight people, because there’s something evil about using technology to lose weight? [/quote]
