I was looking into this the other week, I couldn't find a CGM supplier in the US that would sell dtc. I don't need it for any medical reasons. Im just interested in the data. Anyone know of a supplier?
You need a prescription, since it is a medical device. Ask your doctor and you can probably get a starter kit. You will have to wear it in order to generate the data you want. Each sensor only lasts 10 days or so. Transmitters last 3-4 months and you can hack in a new battery. Without insurance, the sensors run $300 for a 3pack. And transmitters are $150.

I got mine from Levels. They use the same sensor as mentioned in the article, and wrap it with their own app. Very easy to deal with. They are trying to limit demand so you need an invite code, but you can find one on Google in 5 minutes.
Veri/Levels as others mentioned if you dont mind paying $$ and want the fancy data viz and UI ...or just sign up for a free (15$ really) trial of the freestyle libre here: https://www.freestyle.abbott/us-en/myfreestyle.html . It'll ask you if you're a diabetic and you just click yes
Are there any apps that can read the NFC data from the FreeStyle libre? I don't want to deal with yet another device that you need to use to read data + upload.
Freestyle Libre has their own app. I havent tried it yet though but its supposed to be not great. I assume its good enough to watch trends for a non-diabetic seeking glycemic feedback on their meal
