Commune with Jeff Krasno : Is This Right for Me? CGMs: Blood Sugar, Stress and Metabolic Health
SHOW NOTES
A $50 sensor on your arm, real-time data on your phone. The question isn't whether CGMs work. It's whether they're right for you.
In this episode, Jeff takes a clear-eyed look at continuous glucose monitors. After wearing one revealed his own pre-diabetes, he spent years sorting the signal from the noise. Here's what CGMs show, what they miss, and who should actually use one.
Inside the episode:
How CGMs work, and why the 8 to 10% error margin matters
Why your CGM is secretly one of the most honest stress monitors you can wear
The glucose numbers worth knowing (and the ones to ignore)
Why insulin resistance can precede a glucose spike by years
The four CGM archetypes: Optimizer, Controller, Outsourcer, Curious Tourist
The four biomarkers to check before you strap one on
This episode is for anyone thinking about metabolic health, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, or whether a continuous glucose monitor belongs on their arm.

Commune with Jeff Krasno
Commune is a podcast where we explore the ideas and practices that bring us together and help us live healthy, purpose-filled lives. We believe personal and societal health are two sides of the same coin, and that cultivating personal wellness is the first step toward making the world well. We connect with experts, scientists, and storytellers around food, health, social impact, mindfulness and movement practices, personal growth, and environmental action. In addition to being a podcast, Commune is also an online course platform where thousands of participants take each course together, day-by-day, for free. We then provide social tools that empower participants to form local action groups and implement their new knowledge in their communities.
