What's up with CGMs?

There's a current wave of interest in knowing your blood sugar fluctuations when eating foods. People are wearing CGMs.

But, glucose fluctuations only describe one piece of the puzzle.

We also need to know how much insulin your pancreas secretes in response to those foods, how much triglycerides your body makes in response to those foods, and how your microbiome is changed.

The insulin response is more important for metabolic health than the glucose response.
