I believe these cheaper devices are not very accurate ie accuracy range of 20% which is a fairly wide window. I’ve also heard there are many things that can impact your glucose even with the same meal like time of day, exercise, stress, sleep, etc. So if you actually want to find the patterns you’d need the expensive CGM over many months.

Does not really matter. You are interested in the trend, not absolute numbers, anyway, which, aside from having some "propagation delay", tracks blood glucose pretty well.
