No prescription needed!?
This is huge‼️
Dexcom has just released their continuous glucose monitor, Stelo. It is $99 for two monitors. You get 15 days of monitoring!
🍬Why am I interested in my glucose?
Over the past year, I’ve been learning more about the importance of insulin and it’s effects on the body and brain. I wrote more on this in my other posts and why you should “blanket” your carbs (thank you Glucose Goddess).
Well now I really get to put my ~what I eat in a day~ to the test to see if actually I’m controlling my blood sugar levels.
❓How to blanket your carbs:
Eat your veggies first, then proteins and fats, then starches, and sugars.
Veggies, proteins, and fats keep your glucose steady whereas starches and sugars turn into glucose creating that spike in blood sugar. If you are constantly reaching for the naked carbs, get ready to take a ride on the blood sugar rollercoaster.

The Dexcom Stelo offers an innovative way for individuals to monitor their glucose levels and is particularly beneficial for those managing conditions like diabetes or those interested in optimizing their health. Continuous glucose monitoring provides valuable insights into blood sugar levels, allowing users to make informed dietary choices. In the context of dietary management, learning about the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar is crucial. The concept of 'blanketing' your carbs refers to the method of altering meal composition to stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the day. To minimize glucose spikes and crashes, it's recommended to consume non-starchy vegetables, followed by proteins and fats, before indulging in starches and sugars. This gradual approach helps in maintaining steady insulin levels and promotes overall well-being. Additionally, new research into glucose monitoring shows it can be an essential tool not just for those with diabetes, but for anyone looking to improve energy efficiency, achieve weight loss goals, or enhance athletic performance. As interest in metabolic health increases, utilizing devices like the Stelo can empower users to take charge of their health and wellness through actionable data and awareness.
I want to get a glucose monitor and test out the kempner rice diet, among other things. So cool’s there are more affordable options!
