Have you ever wondered what's really happening inside your body when you eat certain foods? Stephen's journey with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology reveals the profound insights these devices can provide—not just for those with diabetes, but for anyone seeking optimal health.

Stephen takes us through his transformative experience using a CGM for over a year while following ketogenic and carnivore diets. This small wearable device has completely changed his approach to managing type 2 diabetes, allowing him to lower his A1C from dangerously high levels to near-normal range without medication. The real-time glucose data provides immediate feedback on how different foods, stress levels, sleep quality, and exercise affect blood sugar—creating a personalized roadmap for health optimization.

Perhaps most eye-opening is Stephen's revelation about non-food factors that impact glucose levels. During one particularly stressful incident, he witnessed his glucose levels double within minutes—demonstrating how emotional stress can be as metabolically disruptive as poor food choices. Similarly, sleep disturbances often manifest as morning glucose spikes, while different exercise types produce unique glucose responses. The CGM makes these invisible processes visible and actionable.

For those following ketogenic or carnivore diets, a CGM validates dietary choices while identifying unexpected triggers. Stephen introduces the concept of "designer glucose"—using CGM data to create a completely personalized approach to food timing, exercise patterns, and stress management based on your unique physiological responses. While these devices were developed for diabetes management, they represent a powerful preventative tool that can help anyone avoid metabolic dysfunction before problems develop.

Ready to take control of your health with objective data rather than generic advice? Try using a CGM for even a short period to discover your body's unique responses and create a truly personalized approach to nutrition and lifestyle. Your body is constantly speaking to you—a CGM simply helps you listen more clearly.
