I Wore a Continuous Glucose Monitor for 4 Weeks and Here’s What I Learned

Curious about how your body responds to food?
I decided to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 3 weeks to gain insight into my glucose levels, especially as I navigate perimenopause. What I learned was eye-opening—from the surprising foods that spiked my blood sugar to the lifestyle changes that helped stabilize it. I’ll share the highs (and lows!) of my experience, how my glucose responses influenced my eating and exercise habits, and what I’d recommend if you’re thinking about trying a CGM yourself.
