CGM and Humor: Social Media Trends and Health Normalization

In a lighthearted video trending on social media, a young woman named Carms (@zigs_mom) uses humor to destigmatize the use of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). Filmed in her home in the UK, Carms lip-syncs to a popular audio track while showing off her CGM, a medical device used to monitor blood sugar levels. "If you wear a CGM/medical device, ur immediately 10x hotter," she playfully states in the video description. The video has garnered significant attention, demonstrating the power of humor in normalizing medical devices and promoting open conversations about health conditions. Carms' video highlights the growing trend of using social media to share personal health journeys and connect with others.
