A $50 glucose monitor and keto diet give relief from 18 years of migraines
After two decades of debilitating vestibular migraines, Rachel Weaver joined a clinical study that used affordable continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to track glucose and found migraines rose with glucose spikes; participants followed a ketogenic diet with individualized carb ceilings—Weaver's around 50g/day—leading to a dramatic drop in symptoms. She’s now down to two migraine meds and reports a near reversal of her condition. The Frontiers in Neurology study of 247 migraine patients suggests CGMs and keto-like dietary strategies may help, but keto should be supervised and more data are needed.
