A parasite does not cause diabetes for everyone. This is all about people wanting to sell you high priced snake oil for the rest of your life.

This is a scam.

Protein first, then complex carbs. It makes you feel fuller longer and it takes longer to digest. It helps control those blood sugar spikes. Where I live in Georgia, you have to be on insulin or sulfonylreas to qualify for a CGM free of cost through Medicare. Walmart has an OTC one if you want to pay out of pocket. It is called Stelo by Abbott. No prescription required. I think all diabetics should qualify for a free CGM. It could save life's and help us make smarter choices. You can talk to your doctor about it. If it would make you feel more comfortable wearing one. Hugs

I have heard something about it. I will do more research on this and get back to you. I don't know if it is true or false.
@A DiabetesTeam Member or @A DiabetesTeam Member may know more about it than I do
