Keto diet and CGM: What your glucose level can look like and how to avoid reverse metabolic inflexibility
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Feb 07, 2026 · 12 min read
On a ketogenic diet, CGM traces usually show a lower, flatter 24-hour glucose curve, while an occasional high-carb meal can cause a higher peak and slower return to baseline because fat adaptation temporarily reduces rapid glucose disposal (“reverse metabolic inflexibility”) rather than proving true insulin resistance.

Healthy carbonated drinks: The science behind the switch for men
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Jan 13, 2026 · 10 min read
