A monitoring tool used by diabetics has become a wellness trend. Some claim they can provide 'valuable insights' to those who are completely healthy, but others say they could do more harm than good.
They're being promoted by some as tools that can help you lose weight, cure fatigue and live a healthier life. Some influencers say continuous glucose monitors can improve the lives of those who are completely healthy, including athletes, saying that measuring blood glucose levels provides important health insights. CGMs are usually about the size of a coin and are worn on the body, often on the arm.
But Greg Cox, a sports dietitian and associate professor at Bond University who published research on CGM's earlier this year, said evidence on whether the devices help athletes monitor their fuelling was "inconclusive". "We haven't found they're particularly useful we would provide an athlete to help them better fuel around exercise," Cox told SBS News.
