I don't care at all, even if they notice I have high blood sugars and sell my info to some drug company market to me a drug claiming to lower them. The added benefit of tracking integrated in my watch trumps that.

Here's the thing about Type 1 diabetics- we'll take what we can get. No one caters to us because we're such a small subset of diabetics we may as well be a rounding error. Every treatment/study/drug you see in the media is aimed at Type 2 diabetics. Glucose meters are about the only thing we both benefit from.



In the U.K. it is very difficult to get a CGM - unless you are young or manage your Type1 very badly.

Even with doing finger prick blood tests 5 times a day, for years, I feel mostly clueless. And rely heavily on how I feel. Given how much time this condition (?) costs healthcare, this seems a poor way to manage it.

I'm desperate to learn more about my body's glucose trends. A watch that could do that would be awesome.
