Our medical systems overlook insulin resistance as a driver of disease states. "Bob" is trying on his own to lower insulin resistance yet you question his actions. Perhaps a fasting insulin lab draw would have reassured him and he wouldn't have needed to seek out the CGM for data. Kudos to Bob for trying to take ownership of his health in a system that only knows how to throw more pharmaceuticals at patients to manage their problems.

Continuous monitoring very clearly has harms. As in your example, it makes people into anxious OCD lunatics.
