This is welcome news for users... (potentially not so much for competitors like Dexcom, Abbot, etc).<p>I do know that both Dexcom and Abbot have recently launched their consumer versions continuous-glucose-monitoring (CGM) solutions for non-diabetic (=pre-diabetic) customers . [FYI - in the US, only diabetic customers can officially get CGMs with a prescription, afaik. Pre-diabetics usually do not have the option. And most health plans do not pay for prediabetes solutions]<p>Would love to hear if anyone has any experience with Dexcom&#x27;s Stelo [1] or Abbot&#x27;s Lingo [2] ?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dexcom.com&#x2F;stelo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dexcom.com&#x2F;stelo</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abbott.mediaroom.com&#x2F;2024-06-10-Abbott-Receives-U-S-FDA-Clearance-for-Two-New-Over-the-Counter-Continuous-Glucose-Monitoring-Systems" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abbott.mediaroom.com&#x2F;2024-06-10-Abbott-Receives-U-S-...</a>
