Worth noting that glucose meters are OTC. Continuous monitoring solutions generally seem to require a prescription, though there are telehealth companies that will help you sort that out. According to the article what the FDA really objects to is “non-invasive” glucose monitoring devices of any sort, on the grounds of general lack of evidence of accuracy.

Also, I think the article is weirdly sensationalized — the FDA isn't "against" anything here. If you click through to the FDA's bulletin[1], it's merely stating for clarity and public awareness that there are currently no non-invasive CGM devices that actually meet existing standards for accuracy. If somebody did produce one, it could be validated and approved via the same processes used by all the existing CGM products which have been approved.
