What? It is pretty well established that continuous glucose monitoring is the go to method for avoiding potentially invasive diabetes and heart related surgery.

Diabetes, obesity and heart disease are often caused by excessive amounts of glucose in the bloodstream which causes your body to react to this emergency by spiking insulin which crams all the glucose into your fat cells and if those are full into your muscle and organ cells. At some point there will be inflammation in your blood veins which leads to plaque blocking the blood stream. That's when your heart will struggle to pump blood through your body.
