Traditionally we gain insight to our glucose levels through standard bloodwork or by using a glucometer and lancelet to poke a finger multiple times each day. In recent years, Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) have been available to diabetes patients and now companies like Nutrisense, make CGMs more widely available. For those looking to fine tune their health, their hormones, their metabolism a CGM can be a hugely valuable tool.
