Regulation of blood sugar levels is a critical factor in managing PCOS. I have long advocated for glucose monitoring, but new technology like continuous glucose monitoring is making it easier, faster, and more revealing. Kara Collier is a registered dietician, nutritionist, and founding partner of NutriSense where she's the director of nutrition. More than that, Kara is the leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology.
