Putting It All Together: Nutrition Conversations Focused on the AGP Report-Nutrition Conversation Starter Handout

Nutrition Conversation Starter Handout

Pdf Summary

The Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) Report offers insights into a patient's glucose patterns to facilitate discussions on nutrition for enhancing time in range (TIR). Improving TIR by 5% is clinically significant. Nutrition conversations can focus on meal times like breakfast, evenings, and midday, suggesting adjustments like adding protein and fiber, swapping processed foods for whole foods, and monitoring glucose impact post-meals. Encouraging the Diabetes Plate Method and incorporating non-starchy vegetables can help stabilize glucose levels. Tailoring advice to personal preferences, access to healthy foods, and readiness for change is essential. It's recommended to track food choices, conduct pre/post-meal glucose checks, and assess lifestyle factors impacting glucose variability. Emphasizing high-quality foods, portion control, and activity levels can aid in achieving glucose targets. Patients can benefit from trying out different meal options weekly to identify what works best for maintaining glucose levels within the target range. Regularly monitoring TIR and making adjustments based on the AGP report is crucial for achieving a Flat, Narrow, and In-Range (FNIR) glucose profile. This approach aims to promote individualized nutrition strategies to optimize glucose management and overall health outcomes.
