I'm T2, but pushed super hard to get a CGM for myself. I started with the Eversense back in August - and it took 8 months of pushing through insurance and the doctor and Senseonics in order to get it. I had 3 sensors, but then decided to try something else after extreme difficulty getting the last sensor, and the fact that Senseonics seems to biting the dust. So I went with the G6, and I'm actually really liking it. I thought it would be an issue not being able to remove the transmitter, but it really hasn't been.
One year ago at this time my A1C was 9.1.
My new result today is 5.7 (last A1C was in February, at 5.9).
And THAT is why I always talk up CGM to people, even if you're type 2. There is nothing wrong with using available technology to help yourself improve - and I wish insurance wouldn't make things so difficult. In the long run, helping cover a CGM that keeps me in compliance is going to be a lot cheaper then paying for the things that would have occurred if I had stayed on the path I was on. Makes no sense to me.
