Blood sugar: what moved for Phoenix members

Track HbA1c and glucose separately without combining unlike units. Compare the interventions attached to each exact measurement before choosing what to test in yourself.

How to read this

Observational research: real APOE4 carriers tracked over time, each compared with their own earlier self. Members chose their interventions, with no randomisation or placebo group. Everything else they changed is shown beside each result.
