Does anyone here wear a CGM? I'm considering getting one, but I have so many apprehensions, the biggest one being that it's unnatural for the body to have a sensor placed under the skin like that. I also worry that there could be reactions as my body tries to reject this foreign object. Are these unnecessary fears? How do the people who are already using this device feel about it?

I've been wearing one for a year and honestly it's been a game changer. I had my apprehensions too but so far nothing has happened. Is it unnatural? Technically, yes but so are pacemakers, dental implants, or even earrings. Your fears aren’t silly but for most, the benefits (no more guessing, catching spikes early) outweigh the ick factor. It’s like wearing a smartwatch for your metabolism.

I tried one for a month through a company called "Levels". I wish I could still still have one (idk how well it's covered under insurance if from a medical perspective you don't "need" it, but it was around $400 out of pocket for a month for me.) But I think eveyone could benefit as you can see what foods spike glucose- and it's not what you think! My biggest spikes were from Costco chicken drumsticks- probably something they seasoned with did it, so I knew to avoid those going forward. I think the benefits are enormous, I hope it becomes normalized sooner than later.

Do Amdocs hire lateral candidates or do they hire internally?

I've applied to Amdocs close to 45th time and always they reply with this email

"Thanks so much for your interest in the Technical & Business Operations Analyst (Pune) (167693) position at Amdocs.

Unfortunately, this position has now been filled."

Why do they then keep sending that these jobs might fit your interest?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
