My doctor issued a continuous glucose monitor to me. After several weeks on this thing, I'm expected Six Flags to contact me to use my trace to design their next roller coaster.

40 year diabetic here, it's the average that is most important, long term. As long as you are not going too low, you may be fine.

66 year old diabetic here.
Diagnosed about 2003, using a CGM since they came out.
My trends, like Gerth's, are quite wild to see. It's the nature of my metabolism.
The accuracy of a given brand may not be super accurate, but as ADM says, it's the trend that counts.
The technology has enabled my to completely stop with the (incredibly painful) finger sticks and still be classifiedby my doc as a "controlled diabetic".

Third generation pre-diabetic here.
All four grand parents, both of my parents were diabetic.
I have been flagged as a “pre-diabetic” since college.
One can of any sugared soft drink spikes my blood sugar numbers souring.
My maternal grandfather just couldn’t inject himself (he was widowed the year I was born) with insulin.
Sadly, he was a farmer, and had the attitude that work first, self care second.
So far, I have been very lucky, careful diet, eliminate sweets as best one can (I just love a scone in the morning, so each week, I get treated to one scone. Our local bakery does a fabulous cinnamon chip/ cream chees scone (un frosted.)
Just marking off the days until my doctor tells me that I crossed over.
At least no one has talked to me about my coffee consumption.
