Pdf Summary
This document provides guidelines on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and nutrition based on recommendations from the ADA’s Standards of Care in Diabetes 2024. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring CGM readings for trends, understanding how food affects glucose levels, and knowing glucose targets. It suggests checking glucose levels before and after meals to assess the impact of food on blood sugar. The document also highlights the significance of balancing carbohydrates, protein, and fat in meals to regulate glucose levels and recommends choosing non-starchy vegetables and whole grains. Additionally, it advises on utilizing CGM data effectively, without feeling overwhelmed by the continuous stream of information. Regularly checking averages every two weeks and aiming for a time in range (TIR) between 70 and 180 mg/dL for 70% of the time is recommended, as increasing TIR by 5% can help prevent diabetes complications. The infographic provides a visual representation of blood glucose profiles and illustrates how different meals can impact glucose levels. Overall, the document serves as a resource for individuals with diabetes to better manage their condition through CGM monitoring and balanced nutrition.
