Continuous glucose monitors are amazing. They should no normalized for all, regardless of diabetes or diabetes risk. Like a cheap superpower sixth sense.

I’m using the freestyle libre 3 (insurance doesn’t cover for prediabetes but doctor gave me an Rx so I could just buy out of pocket at pharmacy instead of sketchy online place). Unlike the older one you had to scan, which I tried 2y ago, this is Bluetooth continuous logging.

Thinking I’m going to do 14 days every month on it. 

Thing is, it gives you an outer feedback loop for conscious discipline while your unconscious inner loop entrains on new eating/activity patterns.

In 50y 2023 may be remembered as more consequential for mainstreaming of smart health protocols than AI.

I’ve abandoned the midwit excel spreadsheet of food/activity tracking I was going to do and simply deep-learn the classifier here.

Unlike chemical interventions (the mounjaro/ozempic era) I kinda trust the wysiwyg nature here… it’s just a sensor+psychology. A mindfulness prosthetic for health.

Im prone to sugar crashes and carb comas - and salty carb foods will knock me out. 

Will using this tell me more about how much / what foods screw me up vs others?

they are! and that’s what excites me about the Apple Watch patent around non-invasive CGM form few years ago. have you tried hydration monitoring patches yet?

I did Zoe too. Nothing stuck and the micro biome part was too complicated to react to and suggestions too generic. 

But now just doing cgm is great

Yeah, using one definitely nudged me to moderate my eating habits. I also did this gut microbiome test that was a big nudge to eat more greens

i think this is what gets me to buy an apple watch in the next few years..
