5. Cool.... ever consider a CGM?

CGM = Continuous Glucose Monitor.

Many employer covers them, some for completely free. Basically you wear a small device on the back of you arm or on your belly. It constantly monitors you blood glucose and either sends it to your phone, or can be scanned by your phone (or a stand alone device).

One great thing about a CGM is far fewer finger sticks! I still stick myself every once in a while to verify/calibrate the CGM readiongs. But daily sticks are gone! My fingers are so happy!

But the best bit is really understanding how your body's natural blood sugar rhythms work, and how YOU respond to different foods. It is an amazing tool for managing your blood glucose.

One thing I learned, for example, is that a moderate amount of beans do not spike my blood sugar, or drop me out of Keto, despite the fact that they have a significant amount of carbs. OTOH, flour... even in high-fiber foods, does tend to spike me.

Anyway, if you are interested, contact your insurance company and see if they have a program. If you are employed, check to see if your company has a program. A real game-changer for diabetics, IMO.

Good health!
