In the US it is insanely expensive and non-easy unless you have a doctor in your thrall who can prescribe it. There's some startup doing "CGM just FYI" but it is like USD $500 per month IIRC.
Other countries, such as Australia, you can just buy them for normal capitalism prices (IIRC like USD 200$ and you own it).
So it very much depends where you are.
