You shouldn't need a prescription to obtain a glucose monitor. That is using the prescription system as a monopoly. Prescriptions are supposed to exist for precision and danger prevention. Not so that you can have a monopoly on a product. Patents are what that are for.

[@itsdarparp]

I think they made it prescription only in the US because of shortages. I’m sure that will change.

[@taunjiachandler6607]

Patients...not patents

[@danielnail1179]

Absolutely agree

[@ZsuzsaKarolySmith]

@@taunjiachandler6607 I think they did mean “patents” - the point they made was that companies who want to have a monopoly on a product shouldn’t make it prescription only, but rather put a patent on it - although I expect it was the health authorities that made it prescription only because of shortages - so that people who really need it (diabetics) would have access to it - but we could argue that prevention is just as important!

[@ZsuzsaKarolySmith]

I’m wearing one right now - cost £57.50 directly from Abbots. It’s an invaluable tool to see what’s going on in your body and how your lifestyle affects your health, especially as we get older and our glucose metabolism becomes less efficient. The secret weapon against glucose spikes is going for a walk - you can get away with almost anything if you go for a brisk walk immediately after eating!

[@stb3987]

Not immediately after eating but an hour later

[@ZsuzsaKarolySmith]

@@stb3987 Depends on what you eat and your metabolic state. If I eat high glycemic foods on an empty stomach, my levels will start climbing within 15-30 minutes and peak well within an hour. If I start doing any exercise when my levels are already coming down, I end up with hypoglycaemia - other people will react differently, but most people peak at around the one hour mark - if you want to avoid the spike, you have to start exercising earlier! A sure way to avoid any spike is to eat while you’re walking/hiking - I’ve tried this with a chocolate bar - hardly any rise at all!

[@n88srn]

I’ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes can I get this on prescription? I’m from the UK

[@deang5622]

Exercise certainly helps, but diluted vinegar drunk immediately before the meal works wonders. 1 tablespoon of vinegar per cupful of water.

[@sourgummiescureyourpain4555]

Recommending this to people who don't need it hopefully doesn't turn out in another shortage for actual diabetic patients like it happened with ozempic.

[@theythemgae9025]

​@lejon2345I agree with both sides, a medicine is different to a one time buy. If you have a life threatening need that clearly trumps prevention but there should be easier access to things that can help assist preventive care. It's also important that folks understand what it is and how to use it.

[@ekklesiast]

Limiting the amount of glucose monitors being sold makes them more expensive/less accessible

[@Chopsyochops]

The patches only last a month. Once you’ve tested the way your body responds, there isn’t much need to wear one after that. It’s better to do a few months or self monitoring and fix the pre diabetes issue before it starts, than to spend a lifetime having to wear one after developing diabetes.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and I didn't have to pay a cent to get my Dexcom. I was given a prescription for it as well. It's easier for type 1 diabetics to get it than people with type 2 diabetes...so I've heard. And the craziest thing I had to prove...is if I was a diabetic 🙄. I was born with this disease...check my medications...what is there to prove?! But overall it's very good to have because it saved my life MULTIPLE TIMES. Especially when I was pregnant with my first son. I happened to take a nap. A few minutes later...I didn't feel so great and I didn't feel my baby kick like he normally did. So that worried me 100%...when I checked my Dexcom...my blood sugar (glucose) was 23!! When I stood up, I felt like I was intoxicated but I wasn't. Thankfully I was able to make it to the kitchen to grab a snack. And thankfully my son started kicking again 🎉.

@@melodyandbryanphillips8304 I used to be on the insulin pump but I had a very bad rash so the doctors decided to discontinue it. Now, it's harder for me to get an insulin pump. Your mom will get it. It just takes patience. But keep calling those people because they like to procrastinate when it comes to approving the prescription they received.

[@SuzieQ593]

One thing with Dexcom is that you must be aware of its variability. Accuracy is not 100%. We used it for my mom and there were times it showed her BS was 50 but when checking with the regular fingertip testing, it was about 60. While I love the fact that it’s continuous monitoring, it’s worth noting that there is a significant degree of variability, about 8-9% to be exact 8% with arm placement and 9% with abdomen placement. ALL, Please keep this in mind.

[@Precious19500]

@@SuzieQ593 I definitely know that it's not 100% accurate. My doctor and I went over the cautions. I'm not depending on it for life but it does warn me when my blood sugar is going dangerously low. Like for example, if it reads "urgent low soon" while it shows me 60...I check myself with my glucose monitor and it tells me that my sugar level is in "47" range or lower. So don't worry I know but thank you for the warning.

[@nowayout8773]

Gee wiz, I ate ice cream and measured my blood sugar and it was high. I ate spaghetti and my blood sugar was high. Do I need a glucose monitor to tell me how crappy my diet is? I ate eggs and bacon for breakfast and my blood sugar was normal. I ate steak for dinner with sautéed zucchini and my blood sugar was low. I like eating foods that spike my glucose so I will monitor it and say oh my glucose levels are high. Seriously, the easier solution is to not eat pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast...for example. Carbs spike insulin. Low carb high fat, keto and carnivore diets will fix insulin resistant diseases. I keep thinking I should go to the doctor and get a blood test. But my LDL is high. Doctors don't know or look at HDL triglycerides ratios. I mention it and they get nervous. The medical industry wants to sell statins and insulin and blood pressure medication. Avoiding high carb diets and seed oils gets you healthy.

[@user-wr3ij3rl7q]

​@@aventureracletteIf you fall under the category who is at risk of developing diabetes (obese, family history etc) - just get checked by professionals. For example HbA1C blood test - it shows the average of your blood glucose for the past 3 months. If you have spikes or issues with glucose, trust me it will be shown if you interpret it correctly. OBVIOUSLY high carb intake will somewhat spike you, you can also check glycemic index of the products you eat (available for almost each product, you can check that) - each type of food will affect your blood glucose regulator differently, so eating low glycemic food is healthy (well, duh😂) I just genuinely don't see the point of wearing a Libre monitor for healthy individuals. And yes, as a diabetic I wore it for some time - made me feel extra anxious because i was just constantly 24 checking how my glucose was😢
