#18 - CGMs 2.0: From Prescription-Only to OTC—What the New Sensors Mean for Type 2 Diabetes (and Beyond)

Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description

Finger-sticks are so 2015. In this candid co-host convo, Brian and Cory unpack the game-changing arrival of over-the-counter continuous-glucose monitors—Dexcom Stelo, Abbott Libre Rio—and what they spell for anyone chasing diabetes remission.

Inside the episode

  • CGM 101 (in two minutes): time-in-range, glucose variability, and why A1C alone is yesterday’s news.
  • OTC vs. Rx: how the new sensors slipped past the prescription gate, what they cost, and who can simply pick one up at the drugstore.
  • Who actually benefits? From non-insulin Type 2s and pre-diabetics to biohackers—where the data is gold and where it’s just glitter.
  • Alert anxiety & data overload: the pitfalls no glossy ad will mention—and the guardrails you need.
  • The 14-Day Data Sprint: a step-by-step playbook to crush hidden spikes without wearing a sensor forever.

By the end you’ll know if an OTC CGM is the missing puzzle piece—or just another gadget in the drawer—and exactly how to turn raw numbers into real-world progress.
