We’ve entered double digits. It’s episode 10 and it’s got - not one, but - two guests! We’re in conversation with two of Delhi's amazing athletes Micah Risher and Udayan Anand, and are sciencing out on continuous glucose monitoring - or CGM, as it is popularly known.
Originally a tool for managing type 1 diabetes, CGM has been steadily finding its way into athletes’ lives. And that’s where this conversation lives - at the intersection of these two different perspectives.
Micah has been using CGMs for over a decade to manage his type 1 diabetes. Micah recently completed a 21min 5k, a 42min 10k, a 92min half marathon and a 4:45 50k ultra with a top 10 finish which was just his second ultramarathon.
Udayan, on the other hand, is a triathlete and self-experimenter who solely got into the tech to understand more about his body. To finish his 9 month-long experimentation project, he ran a sub-3:30 marathon and topped up that effort with a half-iron distance triathlon 3 weeks later.
The conversation approaches CGM from two completely different perspectives and both Micah and Udayan speak from their experiences on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:
Important disclaimer - no one in this conversation is giving out any medical, dietary or nutrition advice. The conversation is simply a product of the guests’ own experiences, and a shared interest and curiosity on the topic of CGM between the guests and the host.
