The market is likely for folks that are unaware that they have some glucose issue.

I agree with the idea that the market that this will be sold to is people who believe they will benefit from CGM data.

My point is that CGM data is very very very unlikely to change behavior in the overwhelming majority of people.

  • If apples app explains everything simply and factually, maybe users can set alerts if a meal spikes tbem more than a meal normally does. I don't know much about diabetes so flip that around if I said it backward.

    I would have probably quit drinking alcohol a lot earlier if I had seen the hell it plays with sugars in your blood iirc.

    Sometimes a notification that you did something unhealthy might be enough? Like my watch buzzes if it detects less than X steps in the last hour, tells me to get up. The app tells me I get to sleep too late most days.

    If it told me that food I just ate is something I'll have to be careful with...
