I'm more curious about the experience a non-diabetic person has. For one, the purpose of using the device is quite different, and not related to a life threatening situation. And because the focus isn't to manage this specific issue, the insights and potential utility seem like they'd be of an entirely different variety.
e.g. I know that the things I eat impact my blood sugar, but don't have the same kind of intimate awareness a diabetic person would have, nor would the changes in my levels have the same meaning/impact.
Put another way, and setting aside the issue of oversimplifying a complex system (so is measuring RHR, HRV, blood oxygen, etc.), the benefit of CGM for a diabetic person is obvious. The benefit of CGM for a curious person less so.

- pastage 3y agoIt is probably easier to find interesting things curious people with diabetes has done, sure you might want help to sort out the interesting bits. Optimizing sugar in take for exercise might be an interesting thing todo as non diabetic. There is no tool to continuously measure ketons though which is the fun part. CGMs are so slow. I really see no use at the moment.
