Don’t assume your CGM will always work perfectly. ALWAYS have a backup finger-prick glucometer. Source: I have a Dexcom G6 and used to use a Freestyle Libre.
None of them are perfect but you should always have at least 1 backup. I have several finger-prick monitors from my pre-CGM days and I fortunately can still feel when my sugar is low and can kinda feel it when it’s high.
