Wearing a continuous glucose monitor provided personal health insights for the author, the only overweight member of their family.
Abstract
The author, who is the only overweight member of their family, decided to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for one week. The author comes from a family where the parents and siblings are not overweight, with the mother never weighing more than 180 pounds despite being 5'8" tall.
The author does not provide any further details about their own weight or health status. However, the decision to use a CGM suggests the author may be interested in better understanding their own glucose levels and metabolism, potentially as part of a health and wellness journey.
The content does not delve into the specific insights or findings from wearing the CGM. It simply states that the author has been wearing the device for a week, without elaborating on what they learned or how it has impacted their understanding of their health.
