if you don't need alerts for extreme high/low, i don't see the value of cgm monitoring... starch/grain/sugar spikes insulin, protein gives gentle raise within 3-5 hours, fat does next to nothing and does in around 7-9 hours. mixing a bunch of fibre/fat/protein into your starch and sugar makes the insulin spike less intense...

what are you guys learning about your super special non diabetic bodies that you can't learn with a $5 book of glycemic indices or a casual afternoon reading basic diabetes dieting advice?

you guys sound like yuppies, using a CGM to come to the conclusion that rice and soda cause sharper insulin spikes than proteins, and exercise is good for you! Could have gotten the same info from a $10 book of glycemic indices or a $20 traditional glucose test kit. If you aren't diabetic, a CGM is widely useless and you're just manually deriving basic facts about metabolism you could have just... read.

good maybe this will take the heat off of CGM/FGM tech, which is a waste of silicon and batteries for healthy individuals to use.
