You do realise that the article you have linked to is on the Cardiovascular Diabetology _" is a peer-reviewed open access medical journal covering the intersection of cardiology and diabetology, meaning the connection between diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases."_

They are talking about GV in diabetics (which is caused by timing of man made insulin against the natural digestion of food (and glycogen from the body)), if a none diabetic is having 400mg blood sugars, they are in serious trouble and will not be worried about sporting performance,

As a T1 (which I have said several times above) diabetic GV is of great importance to me, so please don’t talk down to me about this

I played around with CGM 3 years ago. Had patches for a period of 6 months. Rode 12h races with it, monitored my response to diet. As with all the new fancy gadgets it’s nice to see a signal but how you can translate this into actionable information is a different story. Does not add value for me. But I’m sure this will catch on, just a few clever placements in podcasts and the thing will sell like crazy.
