309. Monitoring Your Blood Glucose - Are the Gadgets Necessary?


Listen Later

From smart watches to heart rate monitors to sleep trackers, there is a world of fitness gadgets on the market to help you deep dive into your healthy habits and metrics. In recent months, glucose monitors are cropping up everywhere - but are they really helpful?

Listener Naomi asked that very question: “I'd like to ask a question about a glucose monitor. They seem to be popping up everywhere and seem to promise a lot of results by helping monitor your glucose. I'm just curious what you would have to say about that - whether it would be helpful to have more information and know kind of how your body's reacting to food and whatnot, or whether that's not necessarily something that they can actually do for you.”

Tune into this shortie episode where I deep dive this latest fitness gadget. I’ll explain what a continuous glucose monitor is and how it works. Then we’ll discuss what it monitors, who it might be helpful for, and who can skip it. If you’ve been curious about this latest trend, then this quick listen is for you!
