      The difference is that bugs like the one linked are an inconvenience and irritation to people without diabetes. They are life threatening to people with diabetes. Unfortunately CGMs don’t seem to be as reliable as they should be, and need to be double checked when they alarm (using a standard finger prick) which doesn’t seem to be getting communicated.
