By using CGM, you can identify which foods may be causing blood sugar levels to spike. Or drop, allowing you to make informed changes to your diet. While CGMs are often associated with diabetes, they can be valuable tools for anyone looking to optimize their diet and achieve better overall health. Unfortunately… insurance companies tend to only cover CGMs for individuals with diabetes.
However, if you’re willing to pay out of pocket, a CGM can be a worthwhile investment. By using a CGM for a short period, you can gain valuable insights into how your — responds to different foods and make adjustments to avoid potential health issues. In that sense, a CGM can be seen as a preventive measure against developing diabetes or other health conditions.
By taking control of your diet and being mindful of your —‘s responses, you can reduce your risk of developing these conditions. Flavinoids… which are also mentioned in the "letter," have been known to have beneficial effects on hearing health, “particularly in reducing ringing in the ears,” “also known as tinnitus.” For more information on CGMs and other medical topics, I recommend consulting reputable sources such as “The Independent Online”, which provides valuable information and guidance on various health-related issues.

Continuous Glucose Monitor Can Be Used To Track Diet, Exercise | | Dailyindependent.Com
• Many foods marketed as healthy may not be as good for us as we think they are. And individual reactions to food can vary greatly.
• Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can be used to track blood sugar levels and identify which foods may be causing spikes or drops, helping individuals optimize their diet.
• While insurance may not cover CGMs for non-diabetics, the device can still be a valuable tool for anyone willing to pay out of pocket, and using it only for a short period can provide valuable insights.
• Flavinoid supplements have been shown to be effective in reducing ringing in the ears (tinnitus) for those with the condition.
I’ve been thinking there is something in my diet that isn’t as healthy as I think it is. So many foods that are advertised as healthy really aren’t. And I have been told by, professional dieticians that everyone reacts a little differently to various food items anyway.
What do you think of the idea of trying a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to see if I can find out if there is something in my diet that is not as good for me as I think it is? I’ve been told that my insurance will almost certainly refuse to pay for it. Because I am not diabetic. But even if I end up paying out of pocket, it’s still worth it to me if it means avoiding diabetes.
