It makes your interstitial glucose read higher than your blood glucose.

Context: I’m t1 diabetic.

I was recovering from an injury, and I switched from ibuprofen to acetaminophen. But the whole time I was on it, my sensor glucose was reading 50-60 mg/dl higher than my blood glucose. This is really bad on a closed loop system as my pump kept trying to lower my blood sugar, but it was pushing me into hypoglycemia (50 mg/dl).

Turns out this is a common effect, but a relatively new discovery that no one told me about.

In countries with more robust public transport, you can get away with not having a car. That's basically impossible in the US.
