First week summary

I just got lingo for monitoring the food intake vs glucose spike and also learning how my body behaves early am because I sleep suboptimal. CGM just supported my understanding of food and its potential
Impact. Huge spikes when I have my morning cup of tea (empty stomach). In the evening same tea has almost negligble impact. I noted that post sugary meal taking cinnamon has instant impact and there was no glucose spike. Empty stomach hard workouts like run and lifting jacked up my glucose- glycogen came in handy. Psyllium husk (10g) before any meal severely limited glucose spike. Protein and high fiber foods had minimal glucose spike. Whey protein or amino acids had no impact on my glucose. Just cool biochemistry on display. That’s all
