Listen Later

How long does it last? Does it stay on? Is it hard to insert? 

Sounds dirty. But these are just a few of the questions you might have about the world's top two continuous glucose monitoring brands. 

In this episode, Cait (Libre 2 Plus user), and Tracy (Dexcom G6 user), insert new CGMs and discuss the pros and cons of the two brands including:

  • comfort
  • ease of use
  • accuracy
  • warm up times
  • app features

After all, if you're going to be attached to the thing, you're gonna need details!
