The article explores the growing trend of monitoring glucose levels in order to improve health. While glucose monitoring has traditionally been associated with diabetes management, some companies now offer continuous glucose monitors to individuals without diabetes as part of personalized nutrition advice. The idea is to reduce glucose spikes after eating, which is believed to aid in weight loss and improve mood, energy levels, and sleep. However, the article highlights that the evidence regarding the health effects of glucose spikes in individuals without diabetes is still unclear. Additionally, there are concerns that focusing solely on blood sugar levels may overshadow other important risk factors for health. The article suggests that glucose monitors may be more useful in identifying individuals with diabetes or pre-diabetes who may not receive regular check-ups. [Extracted from the article]
