Until recently, CGM has been associated mostly with controlling blood sugar levels for Type 1 diabetics and for Type 2 diabetics who have had unusually great difficulty controlling their blood sugar. Tuesday and Wednesday were eye-openers, too. Such spikes promote responsive insulin spikes, fat storage, and more, in a vicious circle. What I discovered starting with a snack Monday evening was that what I considered a fairly healthy snack or meal could produce alarming blood sugar spikes - spikes that had never shown up on a fasting blood panel and were much higher than the blood sugar levels reflected in my A1C. Two hours later, after warming up, the monitor began sending information to my smart phone - and my life may have changed. I opened it, watched a YouTube video on getting started one more time, and attached a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to my upper left arm. Late Monday afternoon, a package arrived in the mail. On a personal note, I am excited and optimistic about something, and that doesn’t happen very often.
