DEBUNKING continuous glucose monitoring for healthy people: frequently asked questions

The Kevin Bass Show

In this episode, I provide critical, science-based answers to the following questions:

• Don’t traditional clinical tests miss the glucose variability that can only be detected by CGM?
• Doesn’t high blood glucose predict heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.? So, this is a reason for non-diabetics to use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), right?
• Doesn’t high blood glucose variability predict heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.?
• OK, but although we don’t know exactly what the cutoffs should be for blood glucose spikes, doesn’t simply reducing blood glucose provide a benefit?
• Wait, I thought that CGM simply helped people to eat in a healthier way? Lowering carbohydrate is not necessary right?
• But don’t responses to each particular food differ from person to person?
• Doesn’t reducing glucose spikes reduce hunger?
• But I feel that CGM benefits me personally. Are you saying I cannot use CGM
• What harm could there be from using CGM as a nondiabetic?

I conclude that there is no evidence of benefit, no evidence for what CGM readings mean, and that the use of CGM to make nutritional choices could cause harm.
