Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

If you’ve nosed around in the posts on my own experiments or read some of my many posts on nutrition and insulin resistance, you might have come across a reference to continuous glucose monitoring. This tool has been a game-changer for the refining I needed to address my last bits of hormonal dysregulation. If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, you’ve likely (and hopefully!) had a metabolic panel done that included fasting blood sugar and fasting insulin levels. These provide a basic snapshot of how you’re doing at one point in time. If you’re like me, and a relatively small percentage of women with PCOS, your numbers might have been fine, and you might think this post isn’t for you. You might be correct, but maybe read on just in case.
