Join me to learn about the carbs, sugar spikes, and blood glucose monitors with diabetes expert Dr. Nicola Guess.
Dr. Guess discusses the pros and cons of closely tracking your blood sugar using CGMs (continuous glucose monitors). These devices have a long history of use in people with diabetes, and are gaining traction in healthy people for biohacking or personalized nutrition. She sheds light on how blood glucose profiles differ between people who are diabetic and not diabetic, and why a glucose spike is not necessarily cause for alarm. She also explains why not all carbs are equal, and why a carb-centric approach to nutrition can be problematic.
Dr. Nicola Guess is an expert in diabetes prevention and management, who brings a clinical, scientific and public health lens to the table. She see patients in her private clinical practice, and is a leading diabetes researcher at the University of Oxford.
