A little bit of all of it, just because my first experience using CGMs on myself was actually in 2023.

I tested something called NutriSense, which used one of the Abbott CGMs for diabetics because in 2023, we did not have over-the-counter devices.

I had a really terrible time training for a half marathon.

I was following all the standards and, you know me, I love to self-quantify and I love to see what I can improve.

And I just did not understand why I whiffed it so hard at the New York City half marathon in 2023 when I was following requirements.

really kind of science-based training regiments, experimentation with fueling.

And at the same time, I was experiencing a flare-up in my PCOS, which is polycystic ovary syndrome.

It is a hormonal slash metabolic condition where I do not burn calories efficiently.

It affects my reproductive system.

It basically means I have way too much testosterone naturally.

And

And also it impacts my metabolism, making me more likely to be insulin resistant.

I have a family history of diabetes.

My dad had pretty severe type 2 diabetes.

And it's just a lot of health things that I have been on a journey for a really long time to figure out.

So NutriSense was like, hey, girl.

We'll help you lose weight and optimize your athletic performance using a CGM.

And I was like, OK, you know what?

I'll give it a whirl.

NutriSense has nutritionists evaluate your glucose data.
