Should I get a CGM
Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2021 5:43 am
Hello,
I have been tracking my blood glucose and ketones with a KetoMojo meter, urine test strips and Biosense breath analyzer. My fasting blood glucose is mostly 90 - 110. I cannot seem to get it down with intermittent fasting, lchf and exercise. I am considering a CGM for the purpose of trying to target the foods or situations that give me glucose spikes.
I have been looking at serveral Nutrisense, Levels, Free Style Llibre and others. The pricing is all over the place. I currently use Cronometer to track everything, so I don't think I need the extra apps to track food, exercise, etc.
I want to get a CGM that does not require my Dr to give me a prescription. Not sure this is possible, I don't want this on my medical record.
Do you think a CGM will help me and do any of you have suggestions for which one to use? Really appreciate any information.
