Mr. Age is AgeGen's editorial character. Facts come from the protocol above.

The protocol

  • Device: any consumer CGM.
  • Review: compare AUC and peak by meal.
  • Duration: 14 days.
  • Log required: yes.

What you get

  • Personalised data on how your own body responds to specific meals.
  • Better glucose regulation through informed meal choices.
  • Greater metabolic awareness.

Contraindications

  • Type 1 diabetes without endocrinology oversight.
  • Active eating disorder.

Evidence level

Medium. There is reasonable supporting evidence that postprandial glucose responses are individual and that CGM data can guide meal choices; the self-experiment is observational, not a clinical diagnosis.
