When Sudipta Mitra was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and prescribed metformin, he did what most patients do: he filled the prescription. What he did next was different. He strapped on a continuous glucose monitor for two weeks and began tracking exactly how his body responded to food, exercise, stress, and sleep - in real time, with data he could see and act on.
The Glucose Reset: Effortless Weight Loss with CGM Technology is the account of what he found. Mitra documents how specific foods triggered glucose spikes he had never anticipated, how exercise timing altered his metabolic response, and how stress and poor sleep quietly undermined progress that diet alone could not explain. The book covers how to read CGM data as a non-clinician, how to identify personal glucose patterns, and how to use that information to make targeted, sustainable changes - without abandoning medical treatment.
The result: twenty pounds lost over three months, and a significant improvement in metabolic markers - A1C dropping from 7.1 to 6.2. Mitra remains on his medication and makes no claim of a cure. What he offers instead is a framework for patients who want to be active participants in their own care - and a demonstration that technology already available over the counter can close the gap between a diagnosis and meaningful change.
Written for general readers rather than clinicians, The Glucose Reset assumes no prior knowledge of glucose biology or wearable technology. It is neither a diet book nor an anti-medication argument. It is the story of one patient's data-driven collaboration with his doctor, his device, and his own body.
The Glucose Reset is the first title in the Reset Series published by Get Reset LLC.
