Gwyneth Paltrow has sparked health fears among fans after they spotted a worrying clue in her latest Instagram clip shared over the weekend.
The Oscar winner, 52 – who has been slammed as ‘out of touch’ over ‘fake PR story’ for her Goop brand – made a batch of pancakes along with a strawberry compote in the reel uploaded on Saturday.
But at the beginning of the clip, the actress excitedly lifted her hands into the air and revealed a small, circular patch on her left arm – with some viewers speculating that she was wearing a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) monitor.
A CGM is usually used by individuals who have type 1, 2 or also gestational diabetes and aids with glucose management.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Paltrow’s reps for comment.

Social media users jumped to the comment section to share their thoughts on the patch on Gwyneth’s arm.
One penned, ‘Why do you have a type 1 diabetes blood glucose monitor, are you diabetic!?!’ and another added, ‘Are we diabetic? Round arm sensor?’
‘Are you wearing a glucose monitor?’ a fan questioned, and one shared, ‘Delicious!! Is she diabetic? Looks like a libre on her arm. Curious my daughter is type 1.’
Freestyle Libre and Dexcom are both brands that offer sensors to help monitor glucose levels.
Another wrote, ‘Omg are you wearing a CGMS?!’ and one asked, ‘Do you have diabetes? My daughter who is type 1 has a glucose monitor.’
A follower asked, ‘What’s on her arm?’ and another replied, ‘dexcom cgm.’ A fan in the comments then explained ‘that’s for blood sugar and stuff.’
After the video kicked off with Gwyneth tossing her arms into the air, it cut to her measuring dry ingredients into a clear bowl – such as coconut flour.
In a separate bowl, the star then whisked together eggs and added what appeared to be maple syrup and milk.

After mixing the dry and wet ingredients together, Paltrow ventured outside to pick fresh strawberries from her garden.
While the strawberry compote was simmering in a bowl on the stove, the actress began to pour the pancake mix onto a griddle.
The clip concluded with her stacking the freshly made pancakes onto a plate – which were then topped with the warm strawberry compote.
Coldplay’s track Strawberry Swing played throughout the background of the new reel.
Chris Martin – the band’s lead vocalist – was notably married to Paltrow from 2003 until their divorce was finalized in 2016. The former couple share two children: Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.
Paltrow kept it casual for the Instagram video, and donned a pair of comfy white shorts as well as a fitted, light gray tank top.
In the caption of the post, Gwyneth typed: ‘Grain-free almond and coconut pancakes with a strawberry compote situation to kick off the holiday weekend – made in my favorite goop pot (on sale now).’
Paltrow has been open about her health over the years – such as an interview with Harper’s Bazaar last year.

‘My dad was diagnosed with cancer when he was only 54, and my mom has had some battles with cancer as well,’ she expressed to the outlet.
Her father Bruce passed away at the age of 58 due to complications with oral cancer.
‘So I am proactive in terms of having blood work looking for cancer markers, getting advanced imaging and all that kind of stuff. Once a year I try to be really good about check-ups.’
The Iron Man actress continued, ‘There’s so much that we can know about ourselves through genetic testing.
‘I actually need a lot of support to detox – and using a sauna is an important part of that. I have a little individual one outside, and I go in that a few times a week for about a half an hour.’
And while previously talking to The Times, the actress recalled helping her father during his cancer battle – and giving him canned food through a syringe. The process made her start to question what exactly was in the food she was giving him.
‘…But I looked at the can and it was the longest list of chemicals, different things I couldn’t pronounce. And I was, like, is this good for him?
‘And that put me down this whole crazy path of examining everything from nutrition, environmental toxins, gut health, all this stuff that nobody was really thinking about.’

Paltrow further stated, ‘I was doing a ton of research, and it was very fringe at the time.
‘People talking about eating healthier for positive health outcomes, examining if gluten was a potential allergen, is sugar not good for you? All these things were considered really fringe.’
The star later told the outlet, ‘I think in my father’s case, I mean, his illness changed my life and the way I treat my body to such an extreme degree. I’m so conscious of trying to keep a healthy body.
‘I make sure I do scans and blood tests and screenings, so I don’t want to, like, live in the [fear], but, you know, you’re right. It’s weird, right? There is a little bit of, wow, I’m outliving this.’
Gwyneth’s latest post comes shortly after she celebrated her daughter Apple’s 21st birthday earlier last week.
The star jumped to her main Instagram to page a sweet tribute to her eldest child and uploaded an assortment of photos of her daughter from over the years.
‘To the light of my life, my ray of sunshine, my hilarious, brilliant, best buddy. Happy 21st birthday!!’ she wrote.

‘You are exceptionally kind and utterly wonderful. I am incredibly proud of your strength and your intellect. Your goofiness and your big laugh. You are just the best. The absolute best.’
The mom-of-two added, ‘Thank god for you, Apple Martin. I cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings for you. Love, Mama.’
Along with raising her children whom she shares with ex Chris Martin, she is also stepmother to her husband Brad Falchuk’s own kids.
During a recent interview with People, Paltrow made rare comments about raising her children and said, ‘I think I really encourage them to be true to themselves and like to do what feels right to them.

‘I think like all the mistakes I made were being talked in or out of something. I really want them, even if I don’t agree with it, like, I want them to be really true to their idea of their purpose and their individuality…’
Back in April, she also reflected on blended families and the hardships of being a stepmom at times.
‘In an ideal world, the relationship that you have your kids in works out, and your kids never have to experience divorce or blending families or anything like that. But a lot of times, that’s not the case.’
She continued, ‘Step-parenting is a pretty tricky arena. It requires a great deal of accountability, vulnerability, understanding your triggers – and nothing quite seems to trigger somebody, especially women, like stepmothers.’
