CGMs are so freaking valuable. They're so freaking valuable, you guys. And um they have changed many lives seeing what your postprandial glucose levels are.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

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.
They play a very valuable role in helping us understand what a postprandial glucose response actually looks like. And then, by proxy, what a postprandial insulin response might look like.
What is most important to me is that you consider using a continuous glucose monitor and understanding what your postprandial glucose looks like.
And this is really the first time that we're able to get this continuous data stream of glucose information. And this allows people to see, you know, what's happening while they're sleeping, the exact shape of that postprandial curve. All these different nuances of our glucose levels that happen day in and day out that we really can't capture with any other device.
But now that we have access to CGMs and technology like that, I think you could actually you would actually see it in that data, >> right?
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.
