Review: Supersapiens Constant Glucose Monitor
The applicator needle is comically intimidating looking the first time you use it!
Not that bad though, really, compared to the 4-6 other injects daily being a diabetic gets me!

Review: Supersapiens Constant Glucose Monitor
@BarryWalstead: Another T1D here, I'm on Libre (with a MiaoMiao and Xdrip) to give nice, calibrated CGM to my watch and garmin. It's been a gamechanger, but while I see the appeal of looping, I'm still on injections.
How do you find it combined with sport? I'm wary about pulling out the canula in a crash, or snagging it while I'm climbing. Is that a realistic concern? Are the better control upsides worth the downsides?

Review: Supersapiens Constant Glucose Monitor
@calmWAKI: I'm diabetic and have been using Libre for years, it's a game changer (especially with an addon that lets it display bloodsugar on my Garmin).
I've been surprised how long it's taken for this to happen though, the sell to Triathletes and Marathon runners should be easy. Never bonk again.
I'm borderline uncomfortable using it though even as a T1 diabetic, its a lot of single use disposable electronics and battery, as well as the huge plastic applicator. Each application is a massive pile of waste, for a 2 week (or less if you knock it off) period. Hard to justify.
