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.
And just so people understand the reference ranges we were talking about was 140, maybe 150 or 155 mg per deciliter as a threshold, as a sort of a ceiling for your blood glucose. You want a very quick return to baseline, you want a small area under the curve, you want low glycemic variability, you want generally low fasting blood glucose and you want low fasting insulin, ideally less than five, I probably even less than three micro IU per ml.
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.
in my strong belief it's fine to have a post-perennial blood sugar of 140 because if you are insulin sensitive and if you have a continuous glucose monitor what you will see is the blood sugar goes up and it comes right back down and the glucose area under the curve is very small

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.
