Short Wave · Who Should Track Their Blood Sugar? · 1 Dec 2025 podcast

Yep.

Sitting for hours.

So what that continuous glucose monitor is actually doing is that it's measuring the glucose levels just under your skin in the interstitial fluid, which is basically the fluid between your cells.

Oh, cool.

And then that glucose level in that fluid is then converted to a number that shows your blood glucose.

Yeah.

So it's like this little plastic gray circle that's embedded into the side of my upper arm with a tiny needle.

It lasts for about two weeks each time and it's connected to my phone so that I can use an app to track my levels throughout the day.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, you know, when I see a reading, it'll tell me that it's at a certain level and it's either rising or steady or falling.

Yeah, it's been really useful for me personally.

I've learned a couple things about how my body responds to carbs, for instance.

Like I'm really sensitive to carbs if I eat.

sandwich for lunch, it's going to really spike my blood sugar.

It is also really helpful for me to take walks after meals, like just for 10 or 15 minutes.

And I can actually see the impact of that immediately on like the graph that's attached to my phone.

And the other really critical thing that it told me was that I really just wasn't exercising enough.

And so it's prompted me to exercise more.

And I've also seen that that's made a big difference in my body's ability to, you know, deal with blood sugar.

Thank you.
