BioMetabolic Journey: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
This BioMetabolic Journey is aimed to give you insight and understanding towards improving your metabolic health.
Regulating blood sugar is at the core of health and wellness.
When you start, you'll receive a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device, a small and easy-to-wear sensor that tracks your glucose levels in real time.
This device will help you discover how your body responds to different foods, activities, and even stress.
By collecting this data continuously, you will gain valuable insights into your unique metabolic responses, enabling you to best balance your path towards health.

Peer-Reviewed Research
-
The percentage increases to 1 in 3 under the age of 44. (https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/php/data-research/index.html)
-
-
Researchers have found that total sleep length was shortened when blood sugars oscillated up and down more frequently.
-
In a large study, non-diabetic individuals in the highest 20% of postprandial glucose responses had a 2.7 times greater risk of CVD-related mortality over 20 years.
-
The up and down spikes of blood sugar caused more problems to the walls of the arteries and oxidative stress than stable, elevated glucose.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can wear the CGM sensor 24/7 for up to 14 days. The sensor will stop working automatically after that.
-
The sensor is waterproof. You can shower or swim with it on.
-
To place the sensor, a small stylet inserts it. The stylet is removed but leaves a tiny plastic tube behind in the skin 5 millimeters deep which is used to check your blood sugar levels.
-
The sensor will deactivate once it is removed.
-
You will discover foods and beverages may affect your blood sugar in unexpected ways.
Many foods like milk, rice, potatoes, and bread will spike blood sugar. This had led some sensors wearers to say, "If it is white, don't bite."
Unexpected foods that may spike blood sugar include oatmeal, low fat yogurt, and white beans. Ironically, some desserts, like cheesecake, may have little effect. -
The CDC has defined in some referenced studies with prediabetes as "fasting plasma glucose values of 100 to 125 mg/dL."
