This is completely nonsense. These are regulated by the government and guaranteed. iPhone users are more than 50% of the Type 1 Diabetic population these are designed for. Also, $7 each is a laughably low price. If you bought them for $7, you didn't buy a Dexcom G7 my friend. Also, why aren't you reselling them? They are going for ~90$ per sensor on the internet. That's like buying a can of Coke for a few pennies, a laughably low price. I think this is either a bot or a spammer.

Source: I have used this product for 9 months and I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 31 years.

Edit, updated wrong price.

You are talking about after deducting from your medical insurance, without insurance, there is no way you can get if for $7.

Funny $180 a month PLUS a online dr visit went front page but half off and no Dr consult it a bad deal 🤷 ♂️ https://slickdeals.net/share/ipad_app/fp/885493

So these aren't the G7 or Freestyle Libre, but lesser versions (Stelo and Lingo)?

This is a good question. I did a quick google search and this article seemed to sum it up pretty well: link [theguardian.com]
Thanks for the info. That article confirmed many of my assumptions.

*I also hypothesized some ultra high performing athletes may also use these devices.... but I doubt many of us SD'ers are going to the LA 2028 Olympics.

I wouldn't say lesser, just different. They don't do the dr sharing or insulin pumps. It's not for diabetics. It's like saying a regular sock is a lesser version of a diabetic compression sock. I mean, I guess it is as it does less

Perhaps a silly question but why would (most) 'non diabetics' need or want blood glucose data recorded so regularly to warrant something like this? Just curious of the use case outside of prescribed usage. No judgement of course.
As a type 1 diabetic I have no idea. I read the article someone linked you in response and basically it almost seems like something to guilt you to eat healthier. Maybe I am just really confused though because I know if my life didn't rely on these I sure as hell wouldn't be using them.

I know some people are obsessed with metrics (basically having a machine tell them what to do) and chasing the ideal number someone told them was the perfect (blah blah blah) to be at to "increase performance."

Spot on. I've used Dexcom g6 and g7 for years and paid $130/mo with awesome insurance for both. Furthermore, the g6 was good, the g7 was great, and with the new direct to Apple watch, the g7 is truly amazing. I've been T1D for 38 years and this has been the biggest game changer in my lifetime for me.

So it will collect the data and transfer it to the app once it reconnects? If that's the case I'm good to go.
The dexcom g7 stores a running count of a days worth of data so that's how much time you have to connect to your phone to get the data off.

Stelo sends the data to the app every 15 min, but records the level every 5. That data is available either on Health app or on Clarity app by Dexcom - you can use it with the same login/pass as Stelo.

G7 customer service is getting awful, I am an insulin dependent type 1 Diabetic with a pump and they will only replace 3 a year. With that being said they have many more issues than the G6 and customer service has gone way down hill.

Curiosity mainly. My last blood test was 2 years ago, got a 101 fasting glucose but 5% Hba1c, this seems like less of a hassle than doing another blood work.

So both these claim that you can't use insulin. So is there an issue if I am on insulin? Does it affect the reading or something?

It doesn't affect anything. It just not compatible with insulin pumps. Stelo updates cgm readings every 15 min vs every 5 min on g6-g7. Also Stelo doesn't give low bg alerts, only for spikes.
