bet marathoners and ultra runners will start using this to improve performance

(don't have a problem with that, but it's predictable)

too bad it's not "wearable" like a watch but that might be coming eventually too since Garmin has a patent on it

(btw Fenix 9 launched today but it's same hardware as Fenix 8 and no glucose feature)

Amateur cyclists already wear CGMs, and as a type 1 myself, they see mine and start asking all about CGMs. It must be so boring for them to worry about fluctuations between 85 and 120.

There has been talk, but as one who hangs around those circles I've not heard of anyone actually doing it. But I'm sure someone is. At the same time, what I'm reading is that CGM won't give a non-diabetic any actionable information.

I am curious how this will help. During training? During the actual race, the strategy is to eat a much as you can without puking.

How? Like, what is the mechanism where this is useful?
