Read up on what's normal, though.

I tried a CGM twice. I triggered the hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low) alarm multiple times, but felt completely fine.

After some research I discovered it's actually not uncommon for healthy people to have occasional dips below the preset hypoglycemia threshold, but as long as you're not having symptoms then there's no cause for concern.

I also talked to a doctor who complained that she had multiple patients showing up with concerns about their glucose numbers for various reasons after trialing CGMs, but they had similar spurious and unimportant problems (brief excursions out of range, etc.).

So if you're going to experiment, at least familiarize yourself with what's truly problematic. It's easy to misinterpret the data if you don't know what it means.

Freestyle libre has a lot of hypoclyemia events due to pressure on the sensor. If you roll over at night, or lean on the sensor it reads way too low. It’s very annoying since you can’t disable the alarm, I have to turn off the Bluetooth at night. Similarly when you go into very cold water it will read lower incorrectly.
