What a CGM measures, which sensor to buy over the counter, how to get the raw data out as CSV, and the metrics and failure modes that decide whether the two weeks of data mean anything.
A practical guide to wearing a continuous glucose monitor around training: sensor placement, interstitial lag, exporting raw CSV data, the metrics worth computing, and the artifacts that will fool you.
A practical account of continuous glucose monitor insertion, comfort, accuracy limits, and how to work with the exported data if you are not diabetic and want a metabolic baseline.
A practical guide to wearing a CGM without diabetes: which sensors to buy, how accurate they are, what a normal glucose curve looks like, and how to analyze the raw data yourself.
A practical guide to choosing a continuous glucose monitor as a non-diabetic athlete, getting the raw data out, and analyzing it without over-reading sensor noise.
Over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors are now sold directly to adults in the US. Which one to buy, what their accuracy numbers mean, how to export the data, and what to compute once you have it.
