In this brief monologue, Dr. Katie To, a dentist, explains how wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) linked to her phone transformed her approach to eating. She discovered that not only the type of food but the order in which foods are consumed dramatically influences blood‑sugar responses. By starting meals with healthy fats and protein before adding other, less‑friendly items, she can blunt glucose spikes and maintain more stable blood‑sugar levels.

I definitely watch what I eat, and in that way, my blood sugar, this is the most important thing that I've learned, my focus now. So I wear a continuous glucose monitor that's paired with my phone. So what I learned was the pattern of eating makes a huge difference in, it is what you eat, but it's also what you eat first. So a healthy fat, protein, and then eat your other things that might be on the plate that might not be so friendly.
