Levels is bringing continuous glucose monitors (CGM's) to the masses. That's right, CGMs are no longer just for diabetic patients, and that's in large part due to our shifting understanding of metabolic health and its root cause in several chronic diseases.
A continuous glucose monitor nearly-continuously monitors your blood sugar level (technically your interstitial glucose level which is an approximation) allowing you to see blood glucose variations throughout the day. These insights allow us to make changes to our behavior to improve performance and metabolic fitness.

sir i pray you or someone with a medical background shall read this...
I don't know if my age and the intercourse is a factor but my life was perfect before it and after it's been awful and need a dr. My gp is bad and i've offered to pay to talk to a doctor at my local hospital and they are "too booked up". please help. Also i shall try to be as brief as possible but it seems impossible as there's much to say.
Feb 25th first intercourse. Instant rash on right thigh, which used to come back with heat and disappear in cold. blocked throat, sweating 3x normal amount. My skin was beautiful and without blemish. And instantly moles and freckles all over my torso and face. Cuts and spots what used to take 2/3 days to heal now take months. Excessive body hair growth all blonde when i'm dark haired.
March 4th second intercourse, blocked throat. March 17th final intercourse. Had to have a day off work as i couldn't stop sweating 4 days after. blocked throat again. Developed a balanitis like rash which i self medicated with hydrocortisone after 10 days had a 85% clear up. I have what looks like lichen sclerosis formed under my genitals, on my arms and my skin has aged horribly.
Beginning of May i went and had all sti tests and they found a problem with urine. I was told i had chlamydia or syphillis and given doxycycline. A week later they said i had nothing but i had taken the antibiotics. They also dismissed my moles etc so at the time i didn't feel the need to discuss with a dr. Within a month i was in agony urinating and my downstairs was on fire. July i went to my doctors and she felt impossible to discuss anything with and seeing the elderly in the waiting room i felt guilty taking up time. i was given antibiotics, treated for UTI and no examinations were performed.
After a week the burning had gone and until december i was fine, only problems were my urine differed in smell between 3 smells. Fishy, sweet and disinfectant. And secondly, it was hard to pull my foreskin back, my urethra felt blocked and my urine sprayed terribly. I noticed this all used to occur after showering so stopped using soap down there. On december 4th my balanitis like rash returned and had been in agony all month in that area. On the 12th i returned to the sti clinic for an examination, she confirmed the lichen sclerosis but she was obviously not a dermatologist. I was given emollient cream and a different type of hydrocortisone. I had constant tingling in my glans and pelvic pain all month but noticed i was fine when i woke up and until i ate or drunk. I've cut out almost all excess sugars and no treats and i am now 95% better and feeling great.
I'm honestly lost as to what's happened to me and seriously need advice and help. Am i diabetic? is the lichen sclerosis the cause and does sugar affect the condition? please help. Thank you for anyone that's read.
meal timing and meal composition changed my health and productivity forever. previously i just followed the gymbros advice of "just hit your calories and protein bruh", but after reading circadian code by satchin panda and watching contents like you've made, i realized the importance of time restricted eating, delaying caffeine, low carbs meal (but not keto), etc.
Thank you for addressing food order. I recently started insulin and I also noticed that if I eat carbs first, I will spike quickly, but if I eat protein and/or veggies first, my blood sugar goes up slower.
Also, I am amazed at the effect of a good sleep and a nice walk will do to manage my blood glucose.
Excellent video weâve been working on a diabetes project
If you are type 2... Quit carbs... all carbs for 6 months and you will be able to get off insulin.
Yes!!! Btw what is your experience with dairy or coffee? I can't figure those out, I feel they keep my bs high longer, as if they prolong the spike...
@sasha_markovsky I drink my coffee with half & half and 2 packets of Stevia and I don't have a spike. It just goes up a little. If I use sugar, then I WILL see that spike. I prefer sugar in my coffee, but I'd rather save that spike so I can eat some type of carb with my coffee.
Every Type 1 Diabetic: "Finally, people get to know and feel what we go through each day!
Poor sleep? Blood sugar. Tired and worn out? Blood sugar. Anxious and overwhelmed? Blood sugar. This is T1D lives with!
I've been type 1 diabetic since I was 9. I'm almost 23. I only experienced this when I was overweight from a high carb diet. Now I feel great
24/48 hours a full time job with no vacation whatsoever! I am not type1diabetic but sadly my son got diagnosed at age 9, almost 3 years ago...its a constant fight. We have not had an enough sleep almost in 3 years. Its sad that there are many misinformation and confusion about type1diabetic and type 2.
Yup.... T1D Dad: Everything he was saying about we expect T1D children to understand and be able to treat with insulin... which can seriously injury you if done wrong.

Just want to note, as an internal medicine physician with a focus on diabetes and metabolic regulation, interstitial glucose can be 15-20% off from actual blood glucose levels so keep that in mind.
So is this worth trying? My sister who is diabetic uses a glucometer similar to this one. It has changed her entire approach to diabetic management. She is more conscious of her diet and manipulates her diet to control her insulin needs. As a result she has lost a significant amount of weight and the doctor has reduced reduced the amount and frequency of insulin injections.
I compare this device to a blood pressure monitor at home. They are not all a 100% accurate but are usually in the ballpark. So how do you feel about this device as device as at least at least an aid, especiallyfor pre-diabetics?
@@sallydouhou5830 who the hell are you?
@@mel752 You can calibrate it to your meter. Also, you can track trends.
@@ineedhoez đThanks!
I agree, but isnât mostly based on trends?
Great video. Thanks! Excellent advice.
Eat fiber first. Order of eating matters. Exercise matters. Eating later matters. Poor Sleep increases sugar variability...
This is super helpful. I have a son who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 2 years ago and have noticed these things with his blood sugar management. Recently we went to an Orlando theme park and when combining huge amounts of walking with higher carb foods *really* helped. I was surprised at how much better the management was.
One other item that he did not mention was the impact of water on blood sugar regulation. Itâs HUGE. When dehydrated it is much more difficult to bring down high blood sugars and when weâll hydrated itâs like magic. Water alone or especially with exercise can drop a blood glucose level like a rock. đđ»
Sheesh the quality keeps getting better every video
My glucose meter was a life changer I will never go back to listening to doctors who know nothing about health
This is an excellent video and actually addresses some of the questions I have had for while. I am using a Free Style Libre 2 and the results have been interesting so far.
Retired Medical Technologist and Type 2 Diabetic (20 years) here... achieved diet control in 4 months after following "Beat Diabetes" challenge on CZcams! I firmly believe that the CGM management will be THE WAY to go, and would have loved to have had the opportunity to join a trial... my phone, however, will not "comply", neither would Medicare!
This CGM has changed my life..earlier my sugars never used to come down to even 150 and always were 25 but now they are very much in range after using such great informative features which blucon nightrider has..i can relate my sugars with food , medicines , exercise and insulin and it has just changed everything
Thank you for this video. It's super imformative and helpful.
I never knew that it was actually a thing but could tell that eating veggies first in my meals makes me feel better
Amazing insight exactly what I was looking for I want more of this
LOVE this. This vid is fantastic - super informative!
Thank you for the tips!
AWESOME video, bro! Even took a few notes.

thank you!
Regarding point 3. The reason the BS doesn't spike is because the body has used up your sugar reserves in the muscles, which are going to be filled up before letting sugar get into other cells. The muscles can take in sugar without any insulin, so the time-lag between sugar -> insulin normally expected will not happen.
This intake of sugar into the muscles is also why you need to eat much more after exercising than normally. You want to eat a meal + the amount required to fill up the muscle sugar reserves.
The reason walking also works in reducing spikes is due to muscles using some of the sugar entering your blood.
For diabetics these are the reasons why we need to reduce the amount of insulin if we exercise after eating (within 2-3 hours) or if we have just exercised intensely (light exercise doesn't use up sugar reserves to any large extent (normally)).
I am not a doctor, just a T1 diabetic.
well said. Also let me add that ,if u cycle or do light exercises for 15 min after 15 min of food , its blunts ure sugar peak the most compared to other timings
GLUT 4 receptors are most significant on muscle , which are insulin dependent ( moderate affinity ) , GLUT 1 maybe present on skeletal muscle ( insulin independent) which are way too insignificant.
So , u need insulin in order to glucose enter the muscle fibres.
U r right about glycogen reserves in muscles getting used up during exercise.
Muscle fibre glucose source can be either through breakdown of glycogen r GLUT 4.
Post meal glucose peak blunts --- dietary glucose enters through GLUT 4 , is used for ATP in muscles rather than breakdown of muscle glycogen , also exercise increases insulin sensitivity to some extent.
In case of high intensity exercise ( post meal) leads to activation of sympathetic system -- epinephrine-- glucose peak .
@@ananyah.v4084As far as I understand during exercise muscles do not need insulin in order for the glucose to enter đ€·ââïž
Iâm a low carb guy 75 years old and I am a metabolic super power. I would like that monitor. Great video.
I used a CGM for 37 days and learned enough to start reversing my insulin resistance. A lot of people think it's as simple as just eating better and exercising, but in my case, it was my gastroparesis. The "standard" gastroparesis advice to eat small meals throughout the day was causing my bg to stay elevated almost all day and all night. If food is in my stomach, I'm usually up around 120. Which isn't that high, but when you're 120 all night, every night, your a1c will go up. I started VERY strict intermittent fasting and my numbers look better, my overwhelming sugar cravings disappeared, and I'm losing weight without trying. I'm not counting calories or anything. Both my parents have type 2 and I'm hoping to avoid it. If anything changes like I start having sugar cravings again or stop losing weight, I'll use a CGM again to see what's changed. These shouldn't be just for diabetics. With so many people becoming diabetic, shouldn't we be trying to PREVENT some of those cases? Both my parents use a CGM all the time, and probably will till they die. Imagine if they had a CGM for just a month or two, years ago, and managed to avoid type 2 altogether. My bf has type 2 and I convinced him to wear one. He's learning a lot about how he reacts to various things. Not just different foods but exercise, stress, etc. His insurance won't pay for it though so we're gathering as much data as possible while he has it.
Interesting and informative video. I have had type 1 diabetes for 7 years now, with a CGM for most of that time. I could relate to pretty much all of what you said in the video, most notably the energy drain I feel after experiencing a sudden rise and fall in my glucose. I had always suspected that was the case, and this only confirms this.
Being diabetic my sugars naturally are quite a bit less controlled than the normal person, but with the help of my CGM I can lead almost a normal life while not sacrificing on eating (most of) the foods I love (a1c of 6.2!). Overall loved your video and it was incredibly interesting to hear the perspective of a non type 1 diabetic analyzing their glucose levels during the day.
Are you on a pump.?
Thanks! Great info
Brilliant video! I really appreciated the graphs and the explanation, very helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!
i appreciate these informative health videos
When you upload I literally drop everything to watch. It doesnât even matter what you upload; I will watch itđ
Thank you for this information. I found out a year ago that I am diabetic. I am wearing a monitor and I love it but I want to try the levels now. I am looking for ways to prevent going on loads of medication. I am seeing how what I eat is causing the problem. I want to change the condition not medicate.
Why are CGMs not available to the general public over-the-counter without a prescription? Are processed food companies lobbying against? Are medical associations lobbying against? Is Big Pharma lobbying against? With greater demand comes competition, lower prices, and innovation.
Smart watches are coming with a cgm feature.
@@ineedhoez That would be really nice.
Because they are for diabetics/hypoglycaemicsâŠ
@@lilah8487 That seems like a very poor reason to keep them from healthy people who would like to understand what their diet and exercise does to their blood sugar. If these were freely available much greater usage would push the price down as there would be greater efficiency and savings in mass production.
@@erich7558 plus it could prevent others from developing diabetes
Very informative video, I have been using the FreeStyle libre sensor with Nightrider Blucon. It allows me to read my bloods without having to prick my fingers. I can see exactly the state of my bloods and what has happen. It provides a clear picture of how food and exercise affect my bloods. I feel I can control my diabetes a lot better.
Thank you so much amazing video (:
Not an athlete but a regular cyclist and I noticed I often crash in the evenings on days I do >30 mins running or cycling despite a wholefoods diet and meeting nutritional values + small snack before/after a workout. Googled nondiabatic blood sugar in athletes and itâs super common
great video, wow im so excited to try this, Ive been dying every time I see it!
I am using ambrosia's blucon with libre sensor and its food insights function is amazing which helps me observe real time effect of diffrent foods, exercise and medicine on my sugar levels
What is the optimal blood sugar levels after training to optimize muscle growth?
CGM's need to be Over The Counter-OTC. It should not be illegal for us to track our own glucose. Game changer for my diet and fight against Type2. Speaking of "fight", I have to do that with my doctor and go around him to get a prescription. Says I dont need it cuz I'm "managing it and only need to test once per day". What a quack.
Very good video with good info. I am a Type 1 diabetic which occurred a few months before my 66th birthday when my pancreas decided to quit working. Over these last 4 years I've researched tons of info on T1D and what causes it especially so much later in life but I've always wondered how a 'healthy' persons BG works throughout a typical day and this video gave me that observation. Exercise has lots to do with controlling BG and is a tool we type 1s use to help control spikes after heavy meals. I used to avail myself to lots of high carb meals in my earlier life and as I aged greatly reduced my exercise/activity so I wonder if all those high carb meals and reduced activity levels led to 'burning out' my pancreas later in life. Anyway, much appreciation for the video and appeasing my curiosity on how normal functioning pancreas and body's function with a CGM.
Would love to try this but the price is outrageous! I do OMAD with alternate day fasting so it would benefit someone who eats more often than I do. I would still like to try it but not until they can make it affordable.
which should be the glucose range during exercise?
CGM devices are very helpful these days. My sugar levels were generally high after breakfast meals then I decided to find a solution to maintain my sugar levels and eating habits. I started using libre sensor with blucon nightrider to get my readings on phone and how my body reacts to a daily activites. It also helped me to track how a particular food item affects my blood sugar.
It will be higher after eating but it wont be "high" if u are not diabetic your levels will come back by themselves and wont get up by themselves
What is a "blucon nightrider"?
Thanks for this video. I should tell this to my mom. But what about drinking milk before sleep for kids

Dr. Sinclair, a leading doctor on reversing aging wears one to make sure he doesn't have high glucose spikes and to see which food causes it.
Hey, which of the two options do you recommend? It seems the cgm is only available in US?
Subscribed for the taparoo.
You might want to rethink referring to type 1 diabetics as âunhealthyâ. I can assure you that because of my diabetes I monitor my health much more closely than those you refer to as âhealthyâ resulting in a much better diet than most, regular daily exercise, of course a CGM, and total awareness 24/7 of my health. I am healthier than most of the people you would refer to as healthy because Iâm paying attention. Type one Diabetes doesnât make you unhealthy, how you choose to deal with it might though.
Have you found a way to make the GGMs last longer so you can wear each one longer than 7 days?
I wish I knew more about this before being diagnosed as a type 2
Can you do a video on more wearables? How to track your health in a meaningful way and experiment with diets, exercise, and sleep using your own data?
Yes!
Iâm interested to know how the study defines metabolic dysfunction⊠A1C? Triglycerides? A suite of measurable numbers?
Probably just using the post meal blood glucose test. They make you drink a glucose solution and then monitor your response over the next few hours.
I'm a type 2 diabetic and I found out like two weeks ago about it today was the first time I got it down to 84 but it's up and down
You read my mind was just thinking of getting a normal glucometer but levels is not available in europe yet unfortunately
Can you do a whole video on health monitoring devices& apps?
Hi Doc very useful healthiest info
Glad it was helpful!
yes even i cannot imgaine my day without wearing my Blucon on..every minute then i keep thinking what must be my level now..as my blucon gives me every 5 minute update about sugars. it tells me which foods cause a rise in my levels, which type of activity suits me.
Diabetics can now check their blood sugar levels 24/7 with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). They're tremendously helpful since they can show you how your blood sugar responds to insulin, diet, exercise, and other factors. T2DM participants can use this meter while taking medications strictly. Also, gluconize helped a lot of diabetics through their customized treatments, results from CGM becomes incredibly stable if food intakes and physical activities are accounted.
I always have to take out the old pen and paper when I watch these videos so I donât forget any of the lecture đ
My CGM not only sends my blood glucose levels to my smartphone, it also sends it to anyone within about a 100' radius, whether or not they care to know what it is. It also sends it to my doctor's office, so when I get there, I don't have to "tell my doctor," and therefore am able to save some time for both of us. .
Nice video, I bought Ambrosia Nightrider cgm to monitor glucose which works great with the Libre sensor, their alarm feature is very helpful during night, it also gives alarm alerts when readings are not in range.
Is the study you refer to available for the public to read?
Great concept and works well but still too expensive to use regularly for non - diabetic people. The tech will get cheaper as time goes on and I see it eventually being some sort of permanent implant in the future.
Smart watches are bringing the tech too.
THEY HAVE BEEN OUT FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS PAL !!!!!!! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN !!!!!!!!!!!
@@mefirst4266 Probably not because manufacturers got themselves a gold mine, especially now with marketing to non diabetics.
I'm type 1 diabetic and I'm completely healthy. Fasting blood sugars are always below 110. On a high carb meal it's below 140.
Optimal health would have your fasting bg under 85 fyi.
@@ineedhoez on a regular day my fasting blood sugar is 79. If I eat a high carb meal my fasting sugar is usually 116. I'm 23 though so idk. I've only had a high a1c one time and that was when I was on meth for 3 years.
@@ineedhoez just fyi no matter how healthy you are, your blood sugar will never stay below 85. Sometimes your fasting sugar will be 80 and other times it'll be 100. Optiomal health is having blood sugars between 80 and 120 just like your blood pressure. Plus a healthy cholesterol plus healthy lifestyle choices like boxing and jogging and staying fite. Been type 1 since I was toddler. I've always have had good control. No complications. Just an addiction to methamphetamine.
How can you eat that amount of carbs ?
being type1 how is that you are maintaing those levels ? very good and stay happy. please share your diet and workout schedule here for a 18+ type 1 boy
will you please make a video about RADIOLOGIST? :)
Are the CGM sensors in addition to the levels fee, and if so how much?
Wow! I haven't heard of Levels, and I've been searching for CGMs to wear for this very reason. I don't have diabetes or any tell tale symptoms of metabolic syndrome. I'm just intensely curious how exercise and certain foods, sequences, timing, fasting schedules will effect my glucose levels. Thank you for sharing this information. I'll click on the link.
Make sure you check out the cost. It's expensive especially if you don't have diabetes because you'll be paying for all of it out of pocket yourself.
Just learned that there are States in the US that you cannot get Levels in at least per their website. "Levels is available in all US states, excluding Alaska, Arizona, DC, Hawaii, and Nevada."
I'm utilizing Ambrosia's real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system, which incorporates the FreeStyle Libre sensor in conjunction with the BluCon and LinkBluCon applications. This setup has significantly contributed to my weight loss journey, helping me shed 15 lbs within a span of 30 days. The 'food insights' feature in the application has been instrumental in my progress as it allows me to understand how different foods affect my body. Consequently, I've been able to limit intake of foods that significantly raise my glucose levels. This, in turn, has been highly beneficial for my intermittent fasting regimen.
Can you test blod pressure on same side the monitor is on?
How precise and reliable is this device?
Hi Kevin, Im guessing the reason the sugar doesnt spike in that time period after intense exercise even when eating simple carbs is the body is busy soaking up the freely available glucose to replenish the glycogen stores. It would be interesting to know roughly how long this window is but like many things its probably greatly varies between individuals but I would image a high level athlete who's body has adapted to storing a large qty of glycogen then this window would be quite large
Can't wait till we have technology like this to monitor other important levels that affect us, glucose levels are a great start but a small part in a much larger picture. Imagine knowing your vitamin C levels are low and that you need to have some particular fruits, or your iron levels being low etc.
Have you tied in your CGM time series data with your data from your Oura ring?
Did they sell out? I went to the website & no dice. Site won't even load.
I have DM type 2 but I'm not on any meds so can't get this prescribed. Is there any way I can just buy one?
Does it interface to Google fit, or renpho scale?
I always wondered how it attached to your arm. I thought it had a needle which is injected into your arm.
Nice, but not available in Europe. Can you recommend something that's available in Europe?
Haha. This video is a Home Run. It just cuts through, no messing .... "Do This, Here's Why!!!!" (But to be fair, I played it at 1.7 speed, so it sounds like he's on a rampage!! Get it Done!!!). And I will. Perfect, thank you.
Yeah I learned to eat very fast due to med school - being in and out the or ⊠the most amount of time I had to eat in a day was 30 mins
This is a good resource to have but they are so expensive
How do you keep them from cramping off your arm?
Iâd love to have one, unfortunately you canât get them without a RX, and no insurance will sign off on them unless youâre already way to far into diabetic status to use them as a preventative measure.
I believe the feeling of tireness just after a heavy meal is not due to the hypoglycemia after a peak of hyperglycemia, but instead hypoglycemia due to fact that the body is still processing the food, so consuming energy, and it hasn't yet released all the sugar to the blood.
Yeah. All the blood has gone to the gut.
My cgm "tattles" on me - i cant get away with anything! đ ive definitely changed many bad decisions becase of my cgm
how are you not doing a sponsor video but still have sign up link
Hey Dr. Jubbal, thanks for this video and the list of tips.
Iâve been on the wait list for Levels device for more than a year now, but they say itâs not available in Nevada đ€. I even followed your affiliate link and used a different email address and when I got to the last part where we input our address, it says Levels device is not available in Nevada.

Libre 2 doesnât seem to do all the tracking that Levels does or maybe I havenât learned how to use it properly. Do you have any tips on what data is important for me to track? Like, should I write down my glucose # at 15 min increments before a meal, and after a meal and after a walk?
I appreciate your advice. Thank you đ

Why Levels over NutriSense, January Ai, Veri? Also thoughts on the shadow side of using a CGM?

As an aside, have you reviewed the Oura ring? Would love to hear more about that too.
Yeah if you didnât need a PRESCRIPTION!!! And the price was DOABLE!!! The ppl could get one!
If you live overseas you can easily buy a good quality 14-day GGM for under $50 USD (with great BT connectivity) directly from the manufacturer. â€â€â€
So does the needle just sit In your arm all day ?
This would be interesting to use to see what happens to residents on a bad call schedule... đ€Ș
Do you know a CGM which allow anyone to access their own data using an API? As imagine, I want to synchronize the glucose data with the Oura Ring data, is this possible? Oura Ring allows us to access our own data through an API. I would like to sync the glucose data with the Oura Ring data to see how my eating habits influence glucose levels and how glucose levels influence my HR, RR during the day and my sleep at night.
How much does the device cost?
My head cannon is that after years of stress and intellectual abuse endured throughout medical school Doctors have no idea how to handle any ounce of free time to varying degrees leading to one single extreme circumstance wherein any doctor suffering to such lengths eventually succumbs to the idea of starting a youtube channel.
Hello sir can you tell me about type one diabetes . My daughter is only 9 years old.
Nice video, I love my FreeStyle Libre 14days and Blucon cgm together, both helps me to manage my blood glucose. My Blucon give me alarms on my and my partnerâs phone when Iâm high or low so thatâs nice.
