Ep 81 - Why you shouldn't use a CGM to monitor blood glucose levels
Season 1
Episode 81
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
If you're tempted to monitor your blood glucose levels with a CGM take a listen to this first. I don't recommend this for people who don't have diabetes. In this episode:
- What is a glucose spike anyway?
- Things that affect your blood glucose response to food
- Why CGMs are accurate for non-diabetics
- How CGM data can't predict your response to food and so shouldn't be used to rule foods in or out of your diet.
