Yeah. I tried a Constant Glucose Monitor for fun. Seeing what fruit did to my glucose levels was shocking.


Did you record any data? Would love to read more.


It wasn't enough data to be interesting to anyone.

An entire apple got me up over 180 as did half a bag of In N Out fries with no ketchup, and I'm not diabetic. Glucose response is very personalized. One monitor for two weeks was enough to convince me I should follow a low carb/keto diet. The instant feedback of the CGM was very motivating.

Low carb has been amazing for me. I have much better energy and strangely enough my vision has improved. I know because I can read small type on my phone when I wake up without reading glasses. I almost never need my reading glasses since I started low carb/keto, and was using them daily prior to that.
