How Wearable CGM Patches Are Helping Athletes Fuel in Real Time

from The Wearable Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Smartwatches, Fitness Trackers, and Health Devices · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna explore how continuous glucose monitor patches originally designed for diabetes are being adopted by endurance athletes to optimize fueling during marathons and triathlons. They focus on a 2025 study from the University of Colorado tracking cyclists using a Dexcom G7 variant to time carb intake mid-race, cutting bonk rates by 38 percent. The hosts discuss the science of glucose trends, the difference from diabetic use, and whether the data is actionable for recreational runners. They also touch on the ethical line between health optimization and medical device repurposing. #ContinuousGlucoseMonitor #DexcomG7 #AthleticPerformance #EnduranceSports #WearableTech #GlucoseMonitoring #CyclingStudy #UniversityOfColorado #RealTimeFueling #CarbTiming #MarathonTraining #TriathlonNutrition #BonkPrevention #HealthOptimization #MedicalDevice #WearablePatch #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
