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.

It's not cheaper. And it has the best accuracy on the market. It's identical hardware and accuracy to the Dexcom G7, but different firmware settings to disable calibrations and extend session time. $100/mo for Stelo is about the same as the copay insured diabetics pay for Dexcom G7.
