15 day Dexcom G7 is cleared by the FDA. This comes after their recent controversy of release unapproved updates to the G7 earlier this year.
I would have to guess they made some changes to make it actually last that long because... hoboy… there's a reason I "downgraded" to G6.
Page notes potential 26% failure rate.
Due to release second half 2025. Which includes potentially as late as December.
So which will come first: Libre 3 Plus working with Tandem pumps, or the G7 Ultra Max 15 Day or whatever they end up calling it?
Huge thanks to Dinux for donating a canopy to The Genital Autonomy Collective! 
This increases accessibility tabling at events like Pride to raise awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon, a case fighting to expand the genital cutting ban to all children, including circumcision of those assigned male at birth and intersex kids.
This case has deep implications for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse folks. Our shared fight is for *intersectional* bodily autonomy, and Oregonians have a unique chance to lead the way.
GAC offers uniquely intersectional advocacy opportunities and support groups for those impacted:
https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html
I’ll also be using the canopy for local mutual aid when not tabling. Thank you again for supporting this work!

At a local café and the staff were talking in support about Hadachek v. Oregon and Intact Global's challenge to expand protection from child genital cutting to all children including preventing circumcision of boys and intersex surgeries.
People are talking in support of genital autonomy this is not a fringe issue, less than 1 in 10 children are genitally cut in Oregon, and Oregonians are happy to fight for the rights of all children!
I shared more info with them such as our search for a plaintiff who has experienced intersex related genital cutting in Oregon.
Exerpt from my speech:
"I’ve been speaking up against child genital cutting for almost a decade with limited success until I moved here. Portland, Oregon really became my home because we also talk to neighbors here, and we know them. We know that they’re exceptionally diverse, and I believe we’re proud to fight for human rights because we know that. [Pause]
Many people assume that I was not affected by childhood genital cutting, but childhood genital cutting, including circumcision, affects more than just boys and men."

# Hadachek v. Oregon Intact Global 2025 Press Conference
Please let me know if you find more news coverage on this. We at the Genital Autonomy Collective spoke about intersectionality at the Intact Global 2025 press conference and hopefully some of the news will also mention that. The Hadacheck v. Oregon case will expand opportunities for trans, intersex, and gender diverse people in ways that more people need to be aware of. Circumcision impacts gender affirming surgery options, and impacts our freedom as well, and we're fighting with the broader genital autonomy movement for our shared rights.
An excerpt from my speech:
"Genital cutting is often talked about in the categories of male, female, and intersex, but those categories are not distinct in reality. People inherently defy those arbitrary boundaries. Because of this, many of the children assigned male at birth and subjected to penile circumcision, or other childhood genital cutting, are transgender, intersex, and otherwise gender-diverse
... Circumcision, by removing genital tissue and creating scars, physically limits options for adults seeking genital surgery. This stands in the way of our freedom to make the choice for ourselves as adults just like it does for boys and men. We are working with the intactivist movement for our shared freedom." https://www.youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?si=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&t=5127
With attention and advocacy opportunities the challenge is bringing, The Genital Autonomy Collective is in need of more volunteers to help. Please message me if you're interested in supporting intersectional genital autonomy for all children in Oregon. While we welcome help of all kinds, we specifically need help with: Graphic design, web design, contacts with press, fundraising, social media management, writing, non profit experience, academic research opportunities, tabling events, etc.
Intact Global is also looking for Intersex plaintiffs who have experienced Intersex related genital cutting in Oregon at any date to add to the Equal Protection Challenge against forced, non-religious genital mutilation. As well as trans plaintiffs who have experienced penile circumcision in Oregon to add to the legal challenge.
Please email me at Allie@autonomycollective.org if you'd like to come forward as a plaintiff or are interested in volunteering. If you're in need of support on violated genital autonomy or would like to help advocate you can join a group at our website: https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html

Founder of the Genital Autonomy Collective

FFS So Abbott’s Libre 3 app, for continuous glucose monitoring, allows itself to be installed on a variety of devices and iOS versions. But should you have issues with it they point you at a doc saying it’s not supported on all devices and OS versions. So be on an insecure OS release (18.0!) or we don’t support you. FAIL
When might they get around to upgrading and fixing their app? No ETA. Critical alerts, DENIED!
For decades, I ate Grape Nuts for breakfast. #Eggs were off limits due to #HighCholesterol. When I discovered I had #ElevatedGlucose, I had to cut carbs. No Grape Nuts in 6 months now!
I easily eat 18 eggs a weeks!! And my cholesterol is the best it's ever been! I’m gobsmacked. It's like my glucose issues (though barely scratching the surface) were affecting my cholesterol. And my glucose is too under control.
But the insurance no longer wants to pay for the #CGM (#ContinuousGlucoseMonitor) which is the tool that has allowed me to get my blood in such perfect condition - overall BEST TESTS in about 30 years. They don't want to pay because I'm not diabetic. At least not technically. Though I've never done an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.
However, certain foods I must avoid completely or my glucose spikes and start going like a roller coaster. And they haven't told me what that is. To me, it sounds like, you know… diabetes…
But the A1C test is now normal (was pre-diabetic). But it's normal because the CGM shows me when I don't eat the right things/quantities/combinations. And it's allowing me to learn. Could it be that I am beginning to be diabetic but able to manage it because of the sensor?
And the endocrinologist I had gone to see has quit. Not that she was that useful. So checking again with my doctor
"Innovations in Continuous Glucose Monitoring" website topic
This website has a wealth of information on continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps, mined from information in patents. Some of the information is free and other parts are paywalled. The information has been edited into plainer English making it easier for someone who is not a patent attorney to understand.
I have started a new weekly newsletter that will be a bibliography of new research articles on the use of CGM data to improve outcomes for diabetics. The bibliography is compiled by a machine learning program developed by Thomas Kirchel, to which I provide manual abstract relevance feedback.

MARD wars. More craziness in the world of CGM marketing from ATTD
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
The CE mark was created. But what is it?
The definition according the the EU website is:
The letters ‘CE’ appear on many products traded on the extended Single Market in the European Economic Area (EEA). They signify that products sold i

It’s ATTD again, and here’s another CGM accuracy study…
As seems to have become the norm in the preamble to the Advanced Technologies and Treatments in Diabetes conference, another accuracy study was released in the past month (along with various "new" CGMs getting CE mark clearance).

Eine sehr sympathische Aussage beim diesjährigen ATTD-Kongress von Prof. Garg, USA:
Diabetes ist definiert als Störung des Glukosestoffwechsels – egal ob es Typ 1, Typ 2, Schwangerschaftsdiabetes oder welcher Typ auch immer ist, es ist wichtig, seine Glukosewerte zu sehen!
