How to Interpret Your CGM Data

In this blog post, I we will help you interpret your continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data by discussing what the scientific evidence tells us about normal vs. abnormal blood glucose responses after a meal. CGMs can be an amazing tool, particularly if we use them not just to lower our acute blood sugar responses. That’s pretty easy; we’d just have to eat fewer carbs. No, where CGMs really offer an opportunity that I feel most people are not taking advantage of is to really understand our own glucose tolerance, that is, the ability of our body to keep blood sugar in the normal range, no matter what we eat.
