Even if we are far from being perfect, my husband and I love to try our best to look after our health.
Today, technology allows us to read some baseline levels and monitor trends 24/7, rather than just looking at the results of a test that only shows a moment in time, like a blood test or any other examination that evaluates the patient's condition at that instant.
Let's use these monitors if we can afford them because they can seriously help us adjust or take important actions to improve our situation.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring is one of the first technologies available at a reasonable price, especially if we consider that it could prevent very serious health issues that involve expensive medications with potential side effects.
With the epidemic of type 2 diabetes affecting the world, this technology should be embraced and recommended to anyone who can afford it. However, in Italy, if you are pre-diabetic, you can't get support from your doctor to use one of these devices because it's considered useful only for those who are already sick.
The system is broken everywhere, so stop thinking and hoping that others will protect and look after you - you're on your own.
🍀 luckily, the world is full of amazing and clever people who will continue to create amazing technologies like this one 💚
As we approach a decentralized economy, we will grow more and more……. 🤟💪🙌
