Analyzing The Data: Using CGM and AGP Data to Optimize Care-CGM and Nutrition Infographic

CGM and Nutrition Infographic

Pdf Summary

The document provides guidelines on continuous glucose monitoring and nutrition based on recommendations from the ADA's Standards of Care in Diabetes 2024. It emphasizes the importance of knowing glucose targets, monitoring CGM readings for trends, understanding how food affects glucose levels, and checking glucose levels before and after meals to assess their impact. It also highlights the significance of considering the amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat in food choices. Choosing non-starchy vegetables and whole grains is recommended as they have a lower impact on glucose levels. The document suggests understanding and maximizing the benefits of CGM readings while avoiding feeling overwhelmed by the continuous data stream. It advises checking averages every 2 weeks and aiming to keep glucose levels in the target range 70% of the time. It emphasizes that a 5% increase in time in range (TIR) helps prevent diabetes complications. The infographic provides examples of blood glucose profiles after meals with and without vegetables, illustrating the impact on time spent in the target glucose range. The document also includes a visual representing different food categories like non-starchy vegetables, carbohydrate foods, and protein foods to guide healthier meal choices for managing glucose levels effectively.
