A well-aligned FET window […]
Blood Sugar Basics — CGM vs Fingerstick
Key Takeaways Both CGMs and fingersticks measure glucose but use different body fluids, which impacts accuracy. CGMs track glucose trends every few minutes, while fingersticks provide only single snapshots. CGMs help identify hidden spikes from stress, poor sleep, or certain foods. Fingersticks remain the “gold standard” for calibration and diagnosis. Managing blood sugar improves fertility, […]
