Pdf Summary

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can assist in making lifestyle choices for better glucose management by understanding the impact of daily choices on blood sugar levels. The recommended glucose targets include fasting, pre and post-meal values. Time spent within the target range of 70-180 mg/dL is crucial for reducing complications. Utilizing CGM trend arrows helps monitor glucose changes and make necessary lifestyle adjustments. Lifestyle choices such as eating whole, fresh foods, exercising regularly, managing stress, and adhering to medication routines are key factors in maintaining healthy glucose levels. Monitoring CGM readings at strategic times, such as before meals and physical activities, can aid in making informed decisions. Understanding how specific foods and activities affect glucose levels can guide individuals in making changes to stay within the target range. Regular monitoring and adjustments, as well as consulting with healthcare providers when needed, play a significant role in managing glucose effectively for improved health outcomes.
