I take a deep dive into my 4 month CGM/Blood Sugar experiment in this episode! I share very practical aspects of using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor), what I learnt about my blood sugar response to various foods and other stressors and some suggestions to get the most out of your own CGM experiment should you wish to give it a go! 

Having stable blood sugar levels is good for supporting thyroid health and if you'd like to understand why before listening to my personal story, check out episode 101 where I talk with Dr Ben Galyardt all about blood sugar and thyroid health.

If you have any questions about my experiment feel free to ask in the comments!
