What did I do?

I took daily fasting glucose readings over a period of 7 months.

  • Oxaloacetate works

Oxaloacetate works… but only see benefits in conjunction with intense, interval-type exercise

  • Mondays suck, weekends are awesome!
  • Playing soccer has an effect on lowering fasting glucose the

following day

  • Mondays suck, weekends are awesome!
  • Playing soccer has an effect on lowering fasting glucose the

following day

  • Alcohol does not seem to have a significant effect
  • Travel seems to negatively affect glucose for several days –
  • xaloacetate may help
  • Most devices never 100% accurate (or even 95%) but as long

as they are consistently off can still see trends

  • Failure != FAIL J - can be some very valuable data (or force you

to look at your data in other ways)

  • Continuous monitoring - 24/7 readings (before/during/after

meals, exercise, sleep, sex)

  • Effects of sitting all day vs. standing
  • Sleep, stress/HRV, mood
  • Test out other natural supplements known to regulate

glucose (berberine, pterostilbene, etc.)

  • Track other diet variables (low/med/high carb days), specific

ingredients, meal times, etc.

  • Environmental impact (indoor air quality, time outdoors)

What will I do NEXT?
