Is there a way to buy a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in the US without dealing with the subscription-based services?
I searched after reading this article and there is Nutrisense for $185/month / subscription with 12-months commitment. This is beyond outrageous.

They’re working on approval in the US. https://www.abbott.com/corpnewsroom/strategy-and-strength/abbott-launches-first-glucose-sport-biosensor-for-athletes.html https://www.abbott.com/corpnewsroom/strategy-and-strength/ab... https://diatribe.org/new-libre-sense-cgm-available-over-counter-europe https://diatribe.org/new-libre-sense-cgm-available-over-coun... I’ve actually never heard of the Nutrisense CGM. I have type 1 diabetes and use a Dexcom, which is way more expensive than that. As far as I know, all others (Libre 2, Medtronic, Dexcom) require a prescription in the EU and US.
