KEY THEMES discussed:
1. Bioindividual food reactions affecting blood sugar.
2. Continuous glucose monitoring for personal insights.
3. Importance of meal timing for glycemic control.
4. Don't skip meals, especially lunch.
5. Sleep's crucial role in blood sugar reset.

3 FUN FACTS:
1. Active, working muscles act as blood sugar sponges and are crucial for keeping blood glucose levels at healthy levels, even during sleep.
2. Chronic levels of stress can hijack and elevate your blood sugar, because as cortisol (the stress hormone) levels rise, so does your blood sugar.
3. Your blood sugar levels can normally rise when you're actively exercising, but they should return to a healthy range within about an hour after exercising ends.
