 I care about them? Anyone can get the tools and learn to check and understand vitals. It can guide us toward diet and lifestyle changes to better take care of our bodily system holistically

 I learned soooo much by using a continuous glucose monitor. Not for diabetes or any other reason other than learning more about my body. Seriously changed my health (and diet).

 Soooo cool. I learned that I tend to run average to borderline hypoglycemia, but it’s kind of regardless of diet? So I’m looking into hormonal imbalances now

 I think one of the big companies is releasing an OTC GCM that also measures ketones. Just FYI. 

One of the carnivore YouTubers I follow mentioned something about that.

 It would be amazeballs if they made CGMs OTC with ketones 🤯

 After I buy a new car (not new, but, you know, new to me), I might be getting one, as I'm curious, though, I don't know if I need to since I now can tell when I'm in ketosis based on how my saliva tastes. (Look up "keto breath.")

 I'm not exactly healthy enough metabolically to experiment yet, though, I am finally able to discern some signals my body is giving me, like I recently discovered that mozzarella cheese will kick me out of ketosis. Butter doesn't.
