Monitoring his blood glucose levels in real time through a continuous glucose monitor helps Peter control his behavior and make better food choices.
03:45
Monitoring his blood glucose levels in real time through a continuous glucose monitor helps Peter calibrate his activity levels, nutrient intake, and treat consumption to minimize damage, emphasizing the importance of feedback in making better decisions.
05:46
Continuous glucose monitors provide real-time feedback that can be as valuable as other medical devices, making it feasible for individuals to request them from doctors for precision monitoring of blood glucose levels.
07:31
Measuring insulin in real time is challenging, but using continuous glucose monitor data to predict changes in insulin levels may be possible with extensive data collection and analysis.
09:22
The speaker finds hemoglobin A1C to be an unreliable measure due to the assumption of red blood cell lifespan, preferring to rely on continuous glucose monitor data for more accurate insights into average glucose levels.
11:18
In the future, the speaker envisions a shift away from hemoglobin A1C testing towards widespread use of continuous glucose monitors for more accurate glucose level monitoring.
