That said, one of the days I saw a glucose "spike" (mid-70s from low 60s), but the other time glucose was flat at 60-ish.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Take a look at my last 24 hours of blood glucose levels (via CGM), and keep in mind, I have not consumed one gram of food in this period of time (or for about 8 hours prior to the first reading on here).
Morning numbers and I’m also including a graph of last night’s CGM so folks can see what I’m talking about with the post-workout glucose jump, despite being this far into a fast and being at a flat 60 mg/dL all day… https://t.co/BLsQX88SOY
Went to bed with glucose of 78 and woke up at 92.
When I look at my CGM from yesterday my highest glucose was about two hours after dinner maybe an hour after dinner but it was about a hundred and seventeen milligrams per deciliter it was my peak glucose yesterday and the other thing I really pay close attention to is what was my peak nighttime glucose so by the time I went to bed it was down to nine B and you know I think my PTIN my peak nighttime yesterday was 95 which makes me really happy because I almost always see my highest glucoses at night they're almost always I think in response to cortisol
Post-meal glucose spikes in non-diabetics drive long-term cardiometabolic disease independently of HbA1c.
Wearing a continuous glucose monitor leads to personalized dietary improvements that hold up beyond 12 weeks.
Continuous glucose monitors meaningfully change behavior in non-diabetic adults beyond the first month.
CGM use in metabolically healthy adults induces orthorexic-style dietary anxiety without health benefit.
