Thanks for the post, I’ll let my diabetic family members know. I know this isn’t on my sisters radar yet.

This is fucked, and I hope Dexcom gets sued into oblivion

Have disseminated to the core healthcare worker subs ty for drawing attention to this.

Apps can’t trace browsing history, at least not on non-jailbroken iphones (showing in the screenshot). She’s feeding off digital illiteracy to drive up the likes of her channel.

No man, you're the illiterate one here. The phone is irrelevant. I worked in the ad industry, this profile shit is real. Phones metadata simply means a device ID so they can knowingly tie you to what the other massive personality graphs have on you rather than guessing. They don't need your browsing history, they already have it. If not from a device then through the apps, if not the apps then the sites themselves.

These companies already have a profile on all of us built. This is simply another company offering their data so huge data aggregators can directly connect it with everything else you do. Not only browsing, but gaming, social media, when you use your computer, travel sites, they even have presence detection in stores to track if their ad worked. This is already the reality we live in.

Look up how much data fucking McDonalds has on you, without you ever eating their food.

This is relevant how?

Worked in ads myself, seen the tech, developed it. This chick is baiting. If the glucose company is doing this they aren’t going to suddenly update their T&S blocking you out of their stuff, because they were already doing it, as you say they already have it. And not through the method she’s described, which is impossible, but indeed through the ever surviving meta and google cross site traching, which again is something iPhone is particularly good at blocking by rotating your ip for free for you.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll disagree and the outrage voting will want her story to be true, and she did so much work on her makeup and the lighting, but I guarantee she’s fishing for clicks.

This entire comment thread is weird, so you more or less agree with me, and agree that it's something they have, but are upset because she's doing it for clicks. We're arguing semantics of the implementation, when the main jist is correct, they're selling client data and many users probably are unaware, which then the problem is that the users probably should be bluntly aware of it. Which leads me to why is she doing it for clicks? I think a bigger question is if this was a man who was trying to raise awareness, would the assumption have been the same, that they were doing it for clicks, or awareness? I don't know man, I'm getting some weird vibes from this thread.

You called out her appearance, called her a chick, then assumed she was doing it for likes. You attacked her argument only by saying she doesn't understand what's happening. Those are three big assumptions that I really wonder if you'd had made about a male creator.

Seeing as you want to repeatedly use this person's gender identity as a method to try to belittle their argument and cause, I'm going to tag you as a mysoginist and assume whatever you have to say about this is in bad faith and rooted in sexism. Be a better person.

Nice try. Would have said the same thing if it was a well groomed boy. You’re making it about gender because you can’t argue with my technical expertise. Be a more educated person.

You making it about gender (pretty girl, chick, commenting on makeup use) shows the opposite, that you have no expertise and little education on the topic. Educated and confident debaters don't need ad hominem fallacies to dog whistle for other bad faith spectators to come in and dog pile their opponent.

As soon as a terms and conditions show up that isn't about open source licensing, you know the provider is an abusive fuck that will happily kill you if it would make them money

Class action, everyone will get $17, they make tenfold that amount by misusing and selling the data of the 99% that hit agree

Sometimes a dude just needs to pace outside a hotel at 5am

Sorry, you (probably) agreed to binding arbitration. No class actions or even public spectacle allowed

Found the fucking misogynist.

Not that the problem isn't a problem, because it is, but: I use the Dexcom G7 (as a type II) and for anyone concerned about this, you can get a receiver - a little device that will show the readings. It's more convenient on the phone (although the phone app FUCKING SUCKS DONKEY BALLS.........), but you don't have to use the phone. With my insurance, it was $50, so that'll vary, but it's an option.

Yeah they can, they use fingerprinting.

I do agree that she is pretty though. But, that isn’t really relevant here.

People (justifiably) blame insurance companies for the bullshit of the medical industry, but the entirety of the of it from provider facilities, to pharmacy, etc. is happy to enable it to nickel and dime for as much money as possible.

The price hikes of Medical services in the US functionally happen in a way similar to the cost of college education: Loaners and universities both benefit from rising cost of tuition, and enable each other to increase. Replace Loaners with Insurance, and universities with providers. The common denominator here is: For fucking profit.

Post your own results trying to call dexcom then.

Bro, YOU brought up gender. The fuck you talking about?

Really?

"Be a more educated person"

I think this capitalism thing is working great; don't you? /s

I'm so glad I don't need one anymore. This is horrible.

Holy shit, I searched about McDonalds data collection out of curiosity and found that they make 500+ page dossiers on their loyalty app customers

This is some truly dystopian bullshit
