I reached 100 days with a continuous glucose monitor (Veri) - It’s been a fascinating ride to understand my metabolic health. There are so many lessons and insights that I will take with me rest of my life.
It was also an important wake-up call for me; I’m not anymore the 20-year-old who can eat anything I want.
In the latter part of the experiment, my glucose level started to rise, creeping towards prediabetic levels. This got me worried, so I took an actual blood test. It gave the same message, I was out of the optimal range and too high for my age and fitness level. Diabetes 2 is nothing new in my family, so I knew I had to make some changes.
