Continuous glucose monitors – CGMs, for short – are wearable devices that measure blood glucose levels through a tiny sensor placed under the skin. The CGM communicates with your smartphone and provides nearly real-time information about your blood glucose levels. Using a CGM can help you make better diet and lifestyle choices to promote better health. In this Aliquot, Dr. Michael Snyder, Dr. Eran Elinav, and I discuss the benefits of wearing a continuous glucose monitor.
Aliquot episodes make great companion listening for a long drive. You can find these special members-only episodes alongside live recorded Q&As on The Aliquot, our official premium FoundMyFitness podcast.
