ONE WEEK IN… and for the FIRST time, they MATCH! 🎯
After a full week of wearing Stelo + Lingo, today the two CGMs finally gave me the same reading.
This was about 90 minutes after eating:
🥩 Turkey meatballs
🥬 Shaved Brussels sprouts
🌾 Homemade oatmeal + flax bites
What does that tell me?
First, I like what I’m seeing from the meal. Protein + fiber + complex carbohydrates can help slow digestion and create a more gradual glucose response rather than a sharp spike.
But one reading is only a snapshot—the trend before and after the meal tells us much more than a single number.
Second, it’s a good reminder that CGMs are measuring glucose in interstitial fluid—not directly in the blood.
There can be a lag compared with a fingerstick, and two sensors can legitimately give different numbers at the same moment.
After watching these two disagree plenty over the past week, seeing them finally land on the same number is pretty interesting!
And then there’s another part of this experiment I wasn’t expecting to notice quite so much…
The feeling of being connected ALL. THE. TIME.
Two CGMs.
My phone.
My Oura Ring.
Numbers. Data. Notifications. Bluetooth. Technology attached to or surrounding my body 24/7.
I love data. I love learning. And I think these tools can give us some incredibly useful information.
But energetically? It feels like chaos sometimes. 😵💫
And that may end up being one of my biggest takeaways from this experiment: health isn’t just about collecting MORE data. It’s also knowing when the data is useful—and when it’s time to disconnect, tune inward, and actually listen to your body.
Technology can give us information. Our bodies still give us wisdom. ❤️
One week down… one more week to learn!
