After all, Abbot IS being paid for this product, whether by me or my insurer is irrelevant. So, we pay but then they take MORE???!?

This isn't Twitter, where I can live perfectly fine without using it, or I can choose to use their service in exchange for #dataveillance and #DataMining.

Abbot is pursuing supremely NOT cool corporate overreach, IMO.

So am I looking for a #unicorn?

Because notwithstanding that I cannot envision a SINGLE #ThirdParty who might need access to my #BloodGlucose readings OTHER THAN my #doctor, I think it is pretty damn gross and unethical to make a critical #medical #monitoring device unable to be used without user data being taken by default (and no opt out).

Welp, just like the app for my fingerpoke sensor, the #FreeStyleLibre2 shares data with 'trusted third parties', none of whom are my doctor. 🙄

When I discovered that with my fingerpoke sensor, I ditched the app and made a #spreadsheet, complete with any auto-caclulations I find useful.
