Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is now available over-the-counter for $50. This device, resembling a thick guitar pick, measures glucose levels every 5 minutes, transmitting data to a smartphone app. The author's experience highlighted unexpected blood sugar spikes from seemingly healthy meals and the significant impact of exercise. While data export isn't directly supported, integration with Apple Health allows for data retrieval. The gamified aspect of monitoring blood sugar levels proved highly effective. Overall, the device provides affordable and accessible glucose monitoring, offering valuable insights into personal health.
