Aliquot #63: Personalizing diet with a continuous glucose monitor
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.
