Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)
Metabolic Health: Not Just for Diabetics
Metabolic Health & CGM's
A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a small device that continuously tracks your glucose and metabolic levels 24/7, so you can see how your body responds to different foods, exercise, sleep, and stress in real-time. CGMs can be used for weight loss for people without diabetes.
We pair expert dietitian support, real-time data, and flexible, affordable CGM program plans that vary in length.
CGMs were initially developed as a life-saving tool for people with Type 1 diabetes in the late 1990s as an alternative to standard glucose testing, which stays on the back of your arm for weeks and measures your glucose 24/7. The use of CGMs has increased from 11 million in 2000 to approximately 30 million in two decades. The increase in CGMs is expected to rise to over 55 million by 2030.
Painless application
Immediate feedback
No finger pricks
CGMs have quickly become invaluable for diabetes management since approximately 90% to 95% of the diabetic population is classified as type 2 diabetes. Over the decades, the sensors have improved, costs decreased, and the technology is now available to a broader audience, not just people with diabetes. Simply put, if you have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat, elevated cholesterol or triglyceride levels, heart disease, or stroke - not just for diabetics; learn how your metabolic system responds to different foods, exercise, sleep, and stress in real-time.
CGMs are an excellent tool for anyone who wants to optimize their metabolic day or night 24/7.
CGMs can give immediate feedback, help track metabolic trends, and have no finger pricks.
