help me understand CGM, I have read the wiki twice

Caution Slow Clap ×3

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking T2D against eGFR for 11 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

no medication-stopping advice, ever

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

The sulphur burps was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

A1c, CGM, stacking with metformin

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

Not to be pedantic but A1c and CGM are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

What are you comparing it against though?

About c/t2dglp1

Type 2 diabetes as the original indication: A1c trajectories, CGM traces, hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with sulfonylureas or insulin, metformin combinations, and why the weight-loss conversation sometimes drowns out the glycaemic one.
