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.

I memorized the weight of my plates.

I learned how to scoop rice in such a way that I'm automatically getting a certain amount.

And I had studied what that amount of rice would do.

And in some ways, it led to healthier things.

Like I stopped eating pure white rice.

I started mixing brown rice with quinoa.
