[quote=Anonymous]Im the initial cgm poster. Yes, I mean a continuous glucose monitor. Get a libre3 (I'm sure you can get it prescribed and partially covered). Wear it for a month to really understand your blood sugar. Start with a week of just observing, then try various tweaks to get the flattest glucose curve you can. This will blunt cravings, give you more energy to exercise, reduce joint pain, improve sleep, etc...

For anyone with metabolic disorder, *when* you eat/the frequency of your meals/how you time them to your cycle if you're still cycling is all incredibly important and with a monitor you get so much more insight than with an A1C.

Focus on three types of exercise: something relaxing like walking or yoga, some interval training and some weights. Each modality improves blood sugar in a different way.

Once glucose is sorted out, cholesterol generally adjusts. It's a long road but the CGM data will motivate you. Ime, fasting glucose is the hardest metric to budge but so satisfying once you get there!
