So I was like, oh, is it the fact that I'm a side sleeper?

Is that impacting why there's a difference between these two devices?

Let me test one in one arm and one in the other because I primarily sleep on one side.

And then I realized throughout this experiment that I can't account for how I move during the night.

I have cats.

Is a cat sleeping on me going to affect it?

There was no way to like isolate and control for that.

Barring booking myself in a hotel and putting a camera filming me at night and then...

You know, I contemplated doing these things and I was like, that's actually insane, though.

There's no like the normal person is not going to do that.

And there's the only other way to do it.

And this is what many diabetics do, which would be by a finger prick test and calibrate the CGM that way.

And as a non-diabetic, is that something I would know to do?

And I was just like, I don't think the average non-diabetic would know that if they were to buy this device and try and test it organically based solely on the educational articles within the app.

So like the TLDR is that I started going to social events and not eating anything because I was terrified of eating a slice of pizza was going to spike my glucose levels.

I couldn't eat cake at friends' birthday parties because, oh my God, that's going to spike my glucose and it's going to make my metrics look wonky.

And then what do I do with that?

I can't eat carbs unless I'm measuring it.

I bought a

kitchen scale.
