In this short personal narrative, the speaker recounts a long‑term habit of eating plain oats for breakfast, a routine they believed to be the healthiest choice. Friends and family teased the simplicity of the diet, but the speaker persisted for years. After learning about continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) through the Levels platform and trying a CGM device, they were shocked to see that their staple oat breakfast caused significant glucose spikes. The anecdote highlights how a seemingly wholesome food can produce unexpected metabolic effects, challenging common assumptions about “healthy” foods.

Chapters

I used to eat oats for many years. After a while you become a creature of habit. At least I did for breakfast. I would just eat that same thing. It's just easy and fast. And sometimes even eat oats without milk. So just dried oats, which my friends made fun of me. And my in-laws would joke that's what horses eat. But I liked it. I thought it was the healthiest thing in the world until I put a CGM one, and this was actually when I was learning about Levels and getting interested in the company, and I was just shocked at the response. And this thing that I've been eating for 10 years thinking it's the most healthy thing was doing some crazy things to my glucose.
