Continuous Glucose Monitoring (aka CGM) is being marketed to athletes as a “fuel gauge” to provide “glucose performance zone” targets. I’ve gone deep to help you learn what CGM is, what its limitations are, whether blood glucose concentrations represent a fuel gauge, and whether "glucose performance zones" are even real, or useful, or dodgy.
This article contains a mix of robust science and my own opinions about throwing CGMs at athletes. Since I have over 10-years of experience using CGMs, I believe I have a right to an informed opinion on this topic.
