Yes, but who prick their finger every moment of the day to check their blood sugar? It's more convenient to do it in the morning.
Waking up with a blood sugar of 110/115/120 is very different from waking up with a blood sugar of 65/75, maximum 90.

how important is this really for the average person? its really unnecessary. its probably fun to use though. may be beneficial for those running insulin.

I agree. Really only for the advanced or straight up diabetics like my old man.
What’s the cheapest way to get these CGMs? Seems to be $70 for a 14 day monitor so far
These are tools designed for people with diabetes or very close to it, so they can continuously monitor their day.
I think this is useful if you use GH + insulin (especially insulin to avoid making mistakes).
But if you think about it, GH raises blood sugar levels. This morning, you can immediately see if you have a fake or real product in your hand. I don't think fake GH exists today, given all the Jano tests and reliable sources.

@Ghoul mentioned a deal on these before.

The best deal is Costco/Libre 3 I posted about. As low as $35 per sensor (or less if your insurance decides to pay), so $70 / month.
If you don't want to eff around with prescription/Costco etc, the next best is the newly FDA approved Signos OTC CGM/App bundle.

If you'd rather avoid hunting for coupons and chasing deals, you might want to consider the AiDEX X. When ordered from China, it works out to about $70 per month (roughly $35 per sensor).
I've used both the Libre 2 and the AiDEX X, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the AiDEX monitor.
I actually wore both at the same time to compare readings, and the AiDEX matched my finger prick results more closely than the Libre 2. I also prefer the AiDEX app, and the sensor itself is smaller than the Libre 2.

Micli's WA is down?
Thank you! Much appreciated. Is signos as accurate as the libre 3?

Libre 3 shows a hair more accuracy, but by a truly minuscule amount. For all intents and purposes the Dexcom G7 used by Signos and Libre 3 are both highly accurate and pre-calibrated to the precision needed to control insulin pumps and keep really sick diabetics in a very tight glucose range. For our purposes that level of "life support equipment" precision is almost overkill.
Main advantage of Libre 3 is its a little smaller. On the other hand, Signos AI based app is supposed to be really well done and a game changer, though I haven't used it.
I may benefit then taking it at night as my glucose dips at night and i get woken up from my cgm, unless i have a protein shake or food closer to bed… then my glucose doesnt dip bad enough to warn my cgm…

Your body should create its own glucose to maintain homeostasis(Gluconeogenesis) . how much does it dip?
Below 60 and enough to make my alarm scare the shit out of me to make me wanna run to the bunker and leave the entire fam…
I have reactive hypoglycemia… so even after meals my glucose shoots down and fucks up my alarm then slowly starts rising again…
Last blood work i ate and took blood 2 hrs later… glucose was low at 67

Are you diabetic and using insulin?
If not, your liver should kick out glucose if you get low in your sleep.
What level does your cgm alarm you at, and what do you do?
I am not a diabetic… according to doctors and they cant figure out why my glucose dips at night…
No insulin
Usually dips below 60…
I wake up, shit a bit because death is about to happen, cry a bit, shaking and pee the bed, and now grab a glucose tablet i set on my nightstand…

How do you feel when that happens? Are you treating symptoms with the glucose tablet, or are you treating the alarm that went off?
The cgm's are their least accurate at the ends of their measurement scale. When sleeping, they are also subject to "compression lows" which is when pressure is put on the monitor while you are sleeping.
Do you every verify that reading with a strip test?
