I thought a CGM would help me lose weight but it turned out my body is a hero at managing sugar spikes. A pint of ice cream? Back to baseline in under an hour. Big meal, no big spike, etc.

So it turns out you can still gain weight even if you don’t spike your blood sugar. At least for me.

If you don't spike your blood sugar and you eat fewer calories that you need, I don't know how you wouldn't lose weight.

For me, a small piece of pie after dinner impacted my BS for 6-12 hours, according to the sensor. That was shocking.

I was high calorie, low spike.

I had just assumed before the cgm that my blood sugar regulation would be terrible with how easily I put in fat. But it was extremely well run.
