This device in particular basically maintains and obscures view of an open wound on your body, and must keep it protected at all times to limit the chance of a bad infection. I can certainly see why it took awhile to build up the trust that their supply chain can create such a device safely.
Plus, the whole host of problems that occur when there's too much or too little insulin in your body. Comas and death in both directions! For better or worse, having certification and a professional watching after it is not the worst thing for a newbie on a dexcom monitor.

We've had the devices for almost 20yrs, just not available over-the-counter. > the whole host of problems that occur when there's too much or too little insulin in your body Which healthy bodies regulate. This device does NOT administer insulin, and it's not a tool for insulin administration in any way. This tool is only approved for use for people who do NOT have insulin prescriptions. This is a tool for healthy people to monitor their levels.
