Sheila Melody shares her experience using a continuous glucose monitor to manage her blood sugar levels. She explains how stable blood sugar is vital for overall health and how she learned about her own blood sugar variations through the monitor. Sheila discusses the different factors that can affect blood sugar, such as food choices, exercise, and stress. She also highlights the importance of understanding insulin resistance and its connection to chronic diseases. Sheila emphasizes the value of wearing a continuous glucose monitor to gain insights into personal glucose patterns and make informed decisions about diet and lifestyle.

Key Takeaways: - Stable blood sugar is crucial for overall health and can be managed through diet, exercise, and stress reduction. - A continuous glucose monitor provides real-time data on blood sugar levels and helps identify patterns and trends. - Certain foods, such as sweet potatoes and oatmeal, can cause blood sugar spikes, while others, like avocado and protein, have a minimal impact. - Exercise, especially high-intensity workouts, can lower blood sugar levels and improve glucose management. - Monitoring blood sugar levels during sleep is important, as spikes or drops can affect sleep quality and overall well-being.
