Why are doctors slow to prescribe CGMs?

Is it because they cost a decent bit?

Ive been diabetic the last decade+ and I finally got on a CGM and this shit is a game changer. Getting feedback/data on what I eat and being able to see my numbers on the go whenever I open an app on my phone is amazing.

It’s kind of gamified the whole thing for me making sure I stay in range and avoid spikes, but yeh I’m not sure why this wouldn’t be a mandatory treatment. Granted my numbers have always been pretty decent minus a rough patch on during covid, but idk… it kind of rubs me the wrong way it took so long to get one and I go to a freaking specialist/endocrinologist.
