Glycemic variability as the key metric for glycaemic control success: my coefficient of variation (CV) on CGM dropped from 41% to 21%. Target is <36%, with <30% being ideal.
Why this matters more than average glucose: large glucose swings cause oxidative stress, endothelial damage, and promote advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). A flat glucose line at 95 mg/dL is metabolically healthier than oscillating between 60 and 160, even if the average is the same.
A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:
How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

My labs after 6 months on glycaemic control: A1C 6.2%, fasting glucose 92 mg/dL, fasting insulin 7 uIU/mL. My endo says these are "textbook perfect."
For context, my baseline A1C was 7.9% and fasting glucose was 137 mg/dL. The improvement has been dramatic and consistent.

PCOS success story with glycaemic control: as someone with polycystic ovary syndrome, this medication has been transformative beyond weight loss.
After 11 months: periods became regular for the first time in a decade, testosterone levels normalized, acne cleared significantly, and — unexpectedly — my fertility specialist is optimistic about future conception.
GLP-1 agonists address the insulin resistance at the root of PCOS. For PCOS patients, this isn't "just" a weight loss drug — it's treating our underlying metabolic dysfunction.

Complete metabolic panel trending on glycaemic control — sharing because comprehensive data helps everyone:
| Test | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 | Month 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glucose (fasting) | 130 | 108 | 90 | 86 |
| Insulin (fasting) | 26 | 16 | 10 | 6 |
| HOMA-IR | 4.5 | 4.1 | 1.8 | 1.4 |
| Uric Acid | 8.8 | 7.0 | 5.7 | 5.1 |
The insulin resistance improvement (HOMA-IR) is what my endo focuses on most. Going from 4.5 to near 1.0 is a metabolic transformation.
