Fitness Enthusiasts Tracking Blood Sugar with Glucose Monitors
A new wave of health-conscious individuals are using continuous glucose monitors to gain insights into their health.
These tiny sensors, once reserved for people with diabetes, are now being used by runners, nutrition enthusiasts, and wellness influencers to track how food, stress, and sleep affect blood sugar in real time.
“I noticed spikes in my blood sugar cause crashes and really impacted my mood. It changed how I started my day, because what I eat at 11 a.m. affects how I feel at 7 p.m.”
Users like Rhianne Berardi, a certified health coach, have discovered valuable information about their bodies, such as how certain foods affect their blood sugar levels and energy.
Experts, however, are skeptical about the benefits of using glucose monitors for non-medical purposes.
