Ordered the Stelo, after going round with my ins carrier, they only cover it for Type 1, bummer, same for Medicare that I will enroll in soon.

Will see how it goes, there are also discounts with Freestyle, some company help, some possible discounting with GoodRx but they are still pricey.

Stello is $90 for a month, which is fine for a test/trial run.

The wife's company which has our insurance is changing to a new carrier this fall, so we will see if they have a different attitude towards CGM's for Type 2...

It sucks that most insurance won’t cover the CGMs for type II.
I've dealt with this long enough to know what food is going to do to me so I alternate wearing one for 2 weeks and not wearing one for the next 2 weeks.

"I was asked by my doc why it enabled me to do better (still not great though) and I told her, I can't hide from it or play games. It shows me the effect of all my decisions from. Ot working out to what I snack on."

This really nails it for me. I can get by just fine between metformin and knowing what to eat/avoid.. wearing a CGM keeps me honest. It is sort of an "in your face dose of reality". I can’t help but make better choices when I am wearing one because I can’t lie to myself.
