I can't imagine what it was like as a T1 before them.

I was diagnosed T2 about 2.5 years ago, and worse a Freestyle Libre (not technically a CGM, but very close) for the first 6 months or so. Very useful for figuring out how I'd react to certain things, and I've got things pretty well under control now (A1C ~5.5)

That's awesome. Yeah, like anything using the data to make better decisions is the way, otherwise there's no point. Even as a T1, if my BG is high, I will generally(not always) eat less carb or none for a meal. Plus the changes in insulin dosing. It's just easier and injected insulin is so much slower than what the pancreas can do(both in time to react and duration)
