What we ACTUALLY need isn’t a glucose monitor. What we NEED is an insulin monitor.

When we measure diabetes by the glucose, we are measuring it indirectly.

The problem with this is that you can eat a bunch of sugar, and if your pancreas is working fine, it will produce a bunch of insulin to balance your sugar levels. This causes insulin resistance to build up in your body over time, even if your glucose levels look fine.

The more sugar you eat, the more insulin you produce to balance the sugar. The more insulin you produce, the more your body gets used to it, and the less effective it becomes.
