Good evening from #Pasadena. Life is very hectic, but making a lot of progress health-wise.
This new device is a godsend. I started using it 3 days ago. It’s a Continuous Glucose Monitor & is providing me with my blood glucose levels continuously, in realtime.
I now see how some foods are causing glucose spikes & if my glucose is too low, often without warning.
I have learnt more about glucose in 3 days than the past 63 years. Wow!
I am not sure how long these have been on the market OTC (this is not one by prescription) but I wish my doctors had recommended it.
I have also been referred to an endocrinologist even though I won’t be able to see him until Jan 2.
But in those 2 months I should be able to make useful observations & better dietary decisions using these devices.
I’m logging all my foods and making notes in the biosensor app to identify what causes spikes and how bad they are.
I can also try combining foods in a certain order, to minimize the spikes.
I am feeling so encouraged. My GP aka primary care physician was not as helpful as I would have liked but my cardiologist who has a big stake in this recommended the endocrinologist, as diabetes affects the heart. He is one amazing doctor.
I’m hoping that this will lead to better care and better health 🤞
