Trying to manage your insulin based on the blips of your CGM is like trying to measure the volume of the ocean by measuring the height of the waves standing on the beach.
Lean and metabolically healthy people have stable blood glucose but stabilising your blood glucose will not make you lean and metabolically healthy.

This article reflects why many people who have used Zoe or Levels end up at Optimising Nutrition. They read the Data Driven Fasting manual to understand What to do with all that CGM data! It is less confusing and way less expensive to use an OTC glucose monitor but unfortunately these new shiny toys appeal yet don’t come with a user manual.

Yes! …someone goes lower and lower carb from 20 total carbs until they end up at carnivore then "one blueberry" gives an exaggerated BG response. Dr Naiman had a good explanation starting Minute 39 in https://youtu.be/XhhoJAY96FA?si=EWPSQhaMoT8atvsB
