Will Over-the-counter CGMs - Continuous Glucose Monitors Change the World?
For over a decade, I have been helping people understand the relationship between sugar and their health.
We have thousands of written testimonials of people who have lost hundreds of pounds, put Type Two Diabetes and all manner of auto-immune diseases in remission, and gotten control of their sugar addictions.
We’ve helped people do over 77,317 sugar detoxes. My original sugar detox book has been downloaded from Amazon over 25,000 times. We also have over 50,000 strong Facebook and private support communities that help people do the essential part of getting off sugar… STAYING off sugar and making total sugar freedom or massive sugar reduction a lifestyle.
Over a million people have visited our Quit Sugar Summits online in the last eight years!
But in all that time, we have never had as much success as we have in the past few years with the advent of public, non-diabetic, non-prescription availability of CGMs—Continuous Glucose Monitors.
Venture-funded companies have emerged with a unique strategy to provide the general public, some say the biohacking public, with CGMs without a doctor's prescription.
In the United States, these medical devices require a doctor's prescription.
These newer companies have developed a standard go-to-market strategy:
They have a system of doctors in every state who provide said prescriptions so the company can sell directly to the public.
It was and is a brilliant move, and as a sugar educator, I have taken full advantage of it by having our one-on-one coaching clients get one as soon as they start working with us.
Venture capitalists have also jumped on board, funding these companies to the tune of over ($140,000,000) one hundred and forty million dollars!
However, the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, and the makers of the devices (there are only two or three reliable manufacturers of the actual sensors) these innovative companies sell have thrown the existing venture-backed companies and us, the general public, a very positive, unique curveball…
Positive for you and me, not the existing companies who resell the devices in their programs.
I believe that it may be the turning point for the metabolic health, obesity, and diabetes epidemics we currently face.
The companies that provide these devices have applied for and received approval to market these life-changing devices over the counter so that anyone can walk into a drugstore and buy them without a prescription!
It remains to be seen how the new, non-regulated devices will be embraced, but if the price is low enough, the instructions clear enough, and the support systems strong enough… the aforementioned world-changing result could manifest.
The devices themselves are nothing more than a little patch on your arm.
They give you unprecedented information about your blood sugar fluctuations 24/7/365—delivered directly to your smartphone.
My experience with clients who wear these devices is nothing short of miraculous. People who struggle for years to eliminate or reduce sugar are nearly instantly transformed by the intimate knowledge of how their body is processing said sugar and ultra-processed carbs.
Here’s the reason why the transformations are so rapid:
You can NOT unsee this information!
It sticks with you, and it changes you.
We may be able to tell ourselves in the short run that a cookie here or some ice cream there “won’t kill us.” But seeing elevated blood sugar spikes and how the spike remains high for hours—in real-time—has a distinct awareness-building result…
It’s like dialing in a video game when that video game is your own body.
People finally become as obsessed with bringing their blood sugar into range as they were with their sweet treats before seeing the unforgettable info from the inside of their own bodies.
These over-the-counter units are anticipated to launch in the summer of 2024. Let’s see if we can track the changes over the next few years.
Go here to make sure you get all the updates!
PS: A further vision of the future: The companies approved by the FDA and others are working on a “Noninvasive” CGM, and rumors are that they are close (they theoretically exist today, but their accuracy is still being worked on).”
A non-invasive CGM does not even require a patch on your arm. You can see the same information with your watch, FitBit, or ring! If these devices can be sold for under one hundred US dollars, we will be on course to change the world!
