🎥 About this episode:
Have you ever seen someone wearing a little sensor on their arm and wondered — should I be using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) too?

In this episode of Endocrine Matters, Dr. Arti Thangudu, endocrinologist and founder of Complete Medicine, breaks down everything you need to know about CGMs — what they are, who they help, and when they might not be right for you.

You’ll learn:

• What CGMs are and how they work (Dexcom, Freestyle Libre, and new OTC options)
• Why CGMs can be life-changing for people with diabetes and prediabetes
• The biggest pitfalls of using CGMs without proper medical guidance
• What’s normal for glucose patterns after meals, exercise, and sleep
• How to interpret your data wisely — without anxiety or obsession

Dr. Thangudu also discusses the rise of “wellness” companies promoting CGMs to the general public and why this can sometimes backfire — leading to confusion, fear, or even metabolic harm.

If you’re curious about glucose monitoring, data-driven health, or simply want to understand your body better, this episode will empower you with knowledge and balance — not fear.
