Can I ask which continuous monitoring device you use? I'm looking for one to see how my blood sugar fluctuates throughout the day. The good ones seem to be behind a prescription wall, so I was considering the freestyle libre.

They're a bit pricey if you buy them direct (sans insurance). It feels like you have an additional sense when wearing it.

There are also a few startups (in the US e.g. Levels, Veri) which offer more insights than just using the libre sensor „as it is“. Unless you already know a lot about metabolic health, I'd recommend going that route over just getting the sensor.
