    In a randomized controlled trial, participants were divided into two groups. Both groups were told to exercise and follow a low-glycemic index diet. The only difference? One group got a CGM, enabling them to monitor their response to food throughout the trial. After two months, the CGM group had lost more weight, more body fat, and had better cholesterol and fasting glucose — all key markers of improved metabolic health.
