Blood glucose monitoring

Continuous glucose moni­to­ring (CGM) is used to monitor blood glucose levels in diabe­tics, but can also be useful in meta­bo­li­cally healthy people. Monitoring provides a more complete picture of meta­bolic health.

Real-​time blood glucose moni­to­ring allows users to monitor their blood glucose levels conti­nuously and in real time. The asso­ciated app works in conjunc­tion with the sensor, which is worn on the arm and conti­nuously measures the blood glucose level in the tissue. A clear user inter­face gives you a quick over­view of your values, trends and patterns.

Long-​term blood glucose moni­to­ring provides valuable insights into the meta­bo­lism and helps to better under­stand ever­yday habits. By conti­nuously moni­to­ring glucose levels, the effects of indi­vi­dual meals and daily acti­vi­ties on blood glucose levels can be reco­gnized.

For example, it is possible to observe how certain foods lead to blood sugar spikes or which eating habits promote stable blood sugar levels. In addi­tion, the measu­re­ment can reveal how blood glucose levels affect personal energy levels by reve­aling patterns between low blood glucose and fatigue or high blood glucose and energy defi­cits. These findings allow for a targeted adjus­t­ment of diet and life­style habits to improve overall well-​being and meta­bolic health.

Long-​term blood glucose moni­to­ring is parti­cu­larly valuable for endu­rance athletes. It makes it possible to precisely monitor the influence of trai­ning sessions on blood glucose levels. Sporting acti­vi­ties can influence blood sugar levels both in the short and long term. Continuous measu­re­ment allows athletes to deter­mine how their body reacts to diffe­rent trai­ning inten­si­ties and dura­tions.

For example, it is possible to find out which meals before trai­ning keep blood sugar levels stable and increase perfor­mance. The measu­re­ment also helps to avoid hypo­gly­cemia during inten­sive or long trai­ning sessions. Overall, long-​term blood glucose moni­to­ring helps endu­rance athletes to opti­mize their diet and trai­ning routine in order to maxi­mize their endu­rance and perfor­mance.
