For @Sam and all of you other nefarious Unlimiteds, I thought that this was most interesting.
Bidding just started 
Just to be clear, this is not my listing. I have no financial or other interest in this listing.
Now that may actually require a prescription since it includes the sensors⌠the Dexcom says that a âDexcom systemâ requires a prescription. A receiver alone does not constitute the âsystemâ as such to require a prescription in my thinking. Hope Iâm not treading on thin ice and about to get banned again.
Haha, weâd have to ban all of ourselves!
In my opinion CGMs shouldnât require a prescription at all. It isnât some kind of dangerous drug that will do tremendous harm if used without medical supervision. A similar product, the Freestyle Libre doesnât require prescription in the EU and that works fine.

Iâm with you, itâs kind of like requiring a prescription to buy a phone or computer.
Hmmm - it appears it may have been removed?

Looks like eBay got wind of it.
Same thing happened to me when I sold my G4 stuff (for a very low price) on eBay. But they didnât remove my item before it sold. The item sold in about 20 minutes.

As a Canadian, I got my Dexcom without a prescription. The whole Sam banning thing confused me as I didnât realize that in the US you need a prescription for a Dexcom.
As a question - can you buy a blood glucose meter in the US without a precription or just the CGM?

Confused me too. That wasnât the real reason he banned me I donât think, although I wouldnât really know because nary a word was said to me. But I do know he harbored a grudge for a long time toward me because I dared to suggest that things like modern diets and social trends such as sedentary occupations becoming more common were associated with increasing diabetes prevalence. That and I had told him it wasnât appropriate for him to continually tell everyone to stop taking statins that their doctors had prescribed themâŚ
You donât need a prescription to purchase a bg meter or strips with your own money, but you need a prescription in order to bill either to your insuranceâ that was the last thing I said before he booted me: that my understanding was that Dexcom was the same dealâ only need a script in order to bill it to insurance. Obviously that wasnât that obnoxious of a thing to say to justify being banned for life-- so Iâm not sure if he misrepresented the exchange to the other moderators or what happened; the few Iâve been able to contact refused to discuss it with me.

Off-topic posts moved to the lounge.
Which I assume is only for the co-founders?
Level 3s. You are almost there 
What is the requirement for level 3?
IMHO, Thomas has earned his stripes - 115 hearts, 215 posts created, 3600 posts read.

Itâs an automatic formula managed by the software for every member.
Yes, I understand it is automated, but what is the requirement? Is it simply length of time being a member?
It has multiple components. Itâs not a priority to spend time working on the formula to change it right now, too many competing priorities.
I wasnât asking anyone to change it, I just wanted to know the requirementsâŚ
Itâs listed somewhere⌠I donât remember where Iâve seen it⌠has to do with how many threads youâve read, created, replied to, been replied to etc etc like Michel said itâs a rather complex formula⌠maybe it was when I was researching discourse.
lol - I will post the standard requirements. I probably have not shared the love enough yet.
Feel free to move this over to the lounge also. If you donât want this public. No stress.
Eric - appreciate the thumbs up.
