Buzz In the Chat: Over the counter CGM
Doc 1: It is excellent news. Can you believe there were doctors who said patients couldn’t handle the data? Remarkable.
Doc 2: People freak out at any increase in glucose. G7 will be visible on the Apple Watch . The Apple Watch doing non invasive glucose is far away if possible. Also a lot of sources of data noise: vitamin c, pressure, temperature changes etc
Doc 3: yes, I think without education and protocols I think it could really be contreproductive
Doc 4: crazy how it spikes with sauna for exemple … but totally physiological response of hepatic glycogenolysis
Doc 5: Ha! I was jolted out of sound asleep sleep at 4:00 am from my “critical low” Dexcom G6 alarm, which nearly gave me an MI just from the alarm itself ‼️
Doc 6: Speaking of blood glucose....Light stimulation of mitochondria reduces blood glucose levels
Doc 7: New Dexcom is lower quality version and only checks every 15 minutes.
