Continuous glucose monitors reveal patterns invisible to finger-prick tests — dawn phenomenon, post-meal spikes, and overnight stability all affect longevity.

Fact
Variability hurts more than average
Two people can have the same average glucose (140 mg/dL) and the same HbA1c. One holds 130-150 all day; the other yo-yos 80-200 four times daily. The yo-yo person has measurably more endothelial damage and oxidative stress. CGMs make this visible — average alone misleads.
