I need a CGM - Which one should I buy?

There are many CGM's on the market and you do NOT need a Doctor's prescription any longer to purchase one.  They are generally accurate to within +/- 20mg/dL.    (Read my article on CGM accuracy here.)

There are currently two over-the-counter sensors, these are:

• Stelo by Dexcom - More focused on Diabetes management
• Lingo by Abbott Labs- More focused on wellness.

These are perfectly fine to use and help you with your workouts and competitions.

There are also sensors that you can use with a prescription.  These are more accurate  (+/- 10mg/dL) and sensitive to changes in glucose.

These are:

• Freestyle Libre 3 plus by Abbott Labs
• G7 by Dexcom

I recommend using a prescription sensor if you can.  Working with my coaches here, we use the Theia app to manage our athletes' glucose values. If you would like to join our community, sign up using the Theia website using the button below.   Here you can purchase a Freestyle Libre 3 plus, or a G7 and be automatically placed in our CGM-Athlete community.   Theia handles all the prescription stuff and makes it super simple for you.

This is exciting as we will announce a community very soon where you can speak with our coaches and others using CGMs. We will be charging $150 a month for access to the community, but if you purchase a CGM on Theia, you will get in for free.  

When you purchase a CGM on Theia, you will use their exclusive app, which is easy to use and allows you to catalog your food, mood, and workouts.  The beauty of working with Theia as a partner is that they handle all the sales of the sensors and work with you on any issues. If one isn't working correctly, they will replace it for free.

Becoming a member of our community is a special thing.

This will be exclusive to the athletes purchasing their CGM on Theia.
