What is a CGM?

CGM stands for Continuous Glucose Monitor - it is a medical device that goes on the back of your arm, and transmits your blood sugar data across 14 days to an app on your phone

What is a CGM used for?

When you apply the context of your lifestyle, nutrition, movement, stressors, and sleep to your CGM data you can identify opportunities to improve your health. Mainly, you're looking to understand what might be spiking your blood sugar too high, or suppressing it. 

Why does blood sugar matter so much?

Your metabolic health (blood sugar being a major component) influences hormones, energy, detoxification, skin quality, mood, digestion, and so much more. Honing in your blood sugar can reduce symptoms you've been living with for years, slow organ dysfunction, and help you manage life with any existing diagnoses.

But, aren't CGMs for diabetics?

A CGM is a tool — and finally, you can have one to see into your health well before (or during) a health event or diagnosis. While diabetics have historically used CGMs, modern science knows health optimization requires the data a CGM provides.
