Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly used by people without diagnosed diabetes to monitor responses to food intake, sleep, and physical activity. The technological availability of CGM has outpaced the development of rigorous principles for interpreting the resulting glucose traces; consequently, consumer and professional discourse often conflates the descriptive value of high-frequency measurements, diagnostic potential, and anticipated preventive benefit.
