DEBUNKING continuous glucose monitoring for healthy people: frequently asked questions
In this episode, I provide critical, science-based answers to the following questions:
- Don’t traditional clinical tests miss the glucose variability that can only be detected by CGM?
- Doesn’t high blood glucose predict heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.? So, this is a reason for non-diabetics to use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), right?
- Doesn’t high blood glucose variability predict heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.?
- OK, but although we don’t know exactly what the cutoffs should be for blood glucose spikes, doesn’t simply reducing blood glucose provide a benefit?
- Wait, I thought that CGM simply helped people to eat in a healthier way? Lowering carbohydrate is not necessary right?
- But don’t responses to each particular food differ from person to person?
- Doesn’t reducing glucose spikes reduce hunger?
- But I feel that CGM benefits me personally. Are you saying I cannot use CGM
- What harm could there be from using CGM as a nondiabetic?
I conclude that there is no evidence of benefit, no evidence for what CGM readings mean, and that the use of CGM to make nutritional choices could cause harm.
