I can’t comment on the differences between the models.

As far as using it, you’ll fall into one of two camps

1. You put it on and go about your normal life. You might discover some unexpected foods that spike your blood sugar, etc.

2. You put it on, but you basically already know what’s going on. So you end up course correcting your diet to avoid seeing something bad. You should not buy a CGM :)

I was in the second group, although I learned that blood sugar can actually spike during _intense_ exercise, as your body releases glucose to fuel you.

I asked in a sibling comment but thought I’d ask here too: how does the Stelo compare to the G7? And do you have any advice on how to start with one and systematically get the best insight out of it?
