After wearing a continuous glucose monitor for 1+ years, this is what I've learned

- My mood/cravings are 100% tied to blood glucose. Low glucose = irritability. High glucose = sugar cravings.

- Sleep quality is 100% dependent on whether I have high overnight glucose...

- Eating fat/protein before carbs = less glucose spike and better mood.

- Many foods I wouldn't have expected spike my glucose like crazy (black beans and oatmeal = worse than ice cream).

- Switching to a Paleo diet resulted in a massive reduction in blood sugar spikes...

- The one I use (Dexcom G6) looks insanely stupid and my wife hates it, but man is it ever accurate.

- Badly needs better insights/app. Excited to try @Levels with it once it supports Dexcom.

- Monitoring glucose > exercise for weight loss. This is going to be a big deal.
