Last night I started my first night with a Freestyle Libre CGM provided after signing up for Veri. I’m excited learn more about my metabolic health and overall wellness!
I turned to IF about a month ago. Currently doing 16/8 IF with a feeding window from Noon - 8pm.
My goals are to improve my energy throughout the day, boost my mental clarity and health, and maybe trade 5-15 lbs of belly weight for muscle.
I have had FG that some would consider prediabetic for maybe as long as 15 years. I’ll have streaks around 100 (+/-5) and then 120 (+/-10) for weeks at a time. It seems to be closely related to both diet and exercise but I’ve struggled to pin anything down.
Hopefully with this CGM I can improve how I feel day to day and prove it with the numbers. My goal is FG regularly below 100 and peak glucose typically below 140. If I can isolate things that are preventing that, I would likely commit to just about any lifestyle change at this point!
I’ve want to experiment with a CGM as well.
I’m not diabetic, so its not covered by insurance.
Are you in the US? Were you able to get the device covered or is it a OOP expense?
Just curious, if these questions are to invasive, tell me to f-off.
