I tried a Continuous Glucose Monitor | Freestyle Libre, sweets didn't affect my blood sugar?!

I tried a continuous glucose monitor (Freestyle Libre) for 2 weeks just for fun and here are my blood sugar results. As an intuitive eating registered dietitian, I hate telling patients how many carbs to eat so this device is a great way to give people real time feedback on the effects of food, exercise, sleep, and stress so that adjustments can be made accordingly.
