What I find absolutely infuriating is that Abott (Freestyle Libre 1-3 devices) region locks their monitoring app depending on your region.

My father is T1 is uses the Libre CGM system for a couple years now. Libre users in the US and Europe can enjoy direct integration with their iOS devices, including constant updates and most importantly, notification alerts for dangerously high or low glucose levels, and it is even possible to share live updates of this with close family members or caretakers.

But none of this is available for my dad, as he lives in Brazil. Even though the product is same, he cannot download the iOS apps over the AppStore, as they are region locked.

Is that because Brazilian regulations prohibit it? Or lawyers being too cautious?

Huh, never seen that typo before. Should be "remiss"

I think it is fine. It would be remiss of me to say otherwise.
