VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs, have become very popular among people suffering from diabetes and those seeking to optimize their health. They are a wonderful and fun piece of ‘health tech’ that provides detailed data on circulating sugar levels, and how they respond to food intake, exercise, sleep, and stress. CGMs therefore have the potential to help people understand a key metric of their health.

This video discusses four points to help viewers use their CGMs to their maximum benefit.
