The Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitors on Everyday Health
A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a different kind of meal tracker, offering minute details of how your food impacts your energy or sleep, whereas traditional apps only log meals and calorie intake. The Abbott Lingo CGM has been designed for people aged 18 and up without diabetes interested in tracking their blood sugar levels to understand how their diets impact their glucose levels and make changes accordingly. By providing real-time data on blood sugar spikes and falls, the device can help individuals optimize their nutrition and exercise routines for improved overall health.
- The potential of CGMs like Abbott Lingo lies not only in monitoring glucose levels but also in harnessing the power of data to inform broader lifestyle choices that extend beyond diet and exercise.
- As the use of CGMs becomes more widespread among healthy individuals, will we see a shift in how healthcare providers approach preventive care and health promotion strategies?
