COMING SOON - Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Benefit of Product
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) have been increasing in popularity, and you’ve probably wondered if using one might give you insights into your health even though you don’t have diabetes. The answer is YES! A CGM can help you:
- Understand how food affects your blood sugar
- Optimize blood glucose concentrations so you feel and perform better
- Stay motivated by providing objective data about how the changes you’re making in your eating are impacting your body
Who Needs CGM?
A CGM is perfect if you’re concerned about developing pre-diabetes or diabetes. If diabetes runs in your family or a doctor has told you that you need to watch your blood sugar, a CGM allows you to learn how your blood sugar responds to different foods and exercise and can help you avoid developing diabetes — without the mess and pain involved with a traditional finger prick blood glucose testing tool.
Do you have energy slumps, trouble losing weight, or can’t perform at your best during workouts or competitions? Are you concerned about heart disease or cognitive decline? Understanding how to manage your blood sugar may help you improve your energy levels, weight, and exercise performance while reducing the risk of developing heart disease and dementia.
Test Results Can Be Confusing
You may have tried a CGM or blood glucose testing in the past and had difficulty deciphering what the results meant. If so, you’re not alone! Understanding and managing blood sugar isn’t as straightforward as it seems.
That’s why our dietitians are experts in understanding how the food you eat and your workouts impact your CGM results. They’ll also look at other factors affecting your blood sugar, such as stress, sleep, and illness. Yes, it feels complicated. But when you have a Sarah Lynn Nutrition dietitian on your team, you’ll quickly learn to understand the big picture and fine nuances of blood sugar management.
Lasting Results
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to blood sugar management. Each person’s body responds differently to the food eaten, exercises completed, stress, sleep, etc. That’s why you need someone on your team to help you de-code what the CGM is telling you.
Your dietitian will help you understand the CGM’s results, prioritize your goals from having more energy to giving each workout your all, and develop a plan that quickly has you feeling your best. Your personalized plan will deliver long-lasting results, so you can rest assured that you’ll feel your best now and in the future.
