At this point, when RFK recommends ANYTHING, I'm viewing it with suspicion. He's shown time and again that science does not drive his recommendations, so I'm not sure that this would be different. Indeed, he seems driven by things AROUND sound science. As RDNs, we need to do what we're professionally and ethically bound to do: speak from a position of sound, credible, and evidence-based science. We probably just need to do it more, as staying silent one these issues just allows all the noise to dominate.
I’m pretty sure there is research out there that shows that when people with blood sugar/insulin issues wear CGMs, it just makes them unnecessarily obsessed with blood sugar and it can develop into an eating disorder or disordered eating, at the least. Blood sugar is supposed to spike after you eat and dip when you need food.
RFK needs to stop listening to the Glucose Goddess because her content is unnecessarily fear mongering about blood glucose levels for the average American.
