I opened my eyes to the reason behind my daily fatigue and irritability.
CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) is a modern technology that allows for continuous glucose level monitoring.
This small device, typically installed around the shoulder, transmits data to your mobile app, enabling you to track your metrics in real-time.
Importance for People with Diabetes
For individuals suffering from diabetes, CGM is crucial as it allows for timely tracking of periods of hypo- and hyperglycemia, preventing dangerous conditions and improving quality of life.
Benefits for Healthy Individuals
For healthy individuals, CGM is a unique tool that helps understand the body's response to various products, stressful situations, and more. Research shows that using CGM allows healthy individuals to optimize their diet, improve physical condition, and enhance overall quality of life.
Research Findings
A study by Stanford University revealed that healthy individuals using CGM significantly improved their metabolic health indicators.
They became more aware of the impact of various products and stressors on glucose levels.
Scientists studied 2,217 participants with varying glucose levels, using CGM for 28 days. The results showed significant improvements in glucose levels, weight, and dietary habits. These findings confirm that CGM technologies can be an effective tool for both preventing and treating diabetes.

In another study, researchers from Cologne examined potential applications of CGM for healthy individuals.
It was concluded that CGM has high potential for health benefits, including stress regulation, improved athletic performance, qualitative dietary changes, and early detection of deviations in glucose regulation in the body.

Preventive Approach in Medicine and Health Management
Active discussions are underway regarding the use of CGM by healthy individuals. In situations where sensors are insufficient, priority should be given to individuals with illnesses. However, the future of medicine lies in a preventive approach.
Experts like myself will not only help you save money on future treatments but also significantly improve your quality of life.
Metabolic health is the foundation of overall health. Strokes and heart attacks are often linked to insulin resistance, which, in turn, is caused by glucose spikes and excessive carbohydrate consumption.
Advantages of CGM over Laboratory Tests
While a fasting glucose lab test provides an accurate result, it's just one point on the glucose level curve for the day.
CGM allows for viewing the entire glucose curve, helping understand the causes of fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, and excess weight.
How CGM Coaching Works
CGM coaching consists of several stages:
- sensor installation and calibration,
- observation,
- experiments,
- changes,
- stabilisation.
One sensor is active for 10-14 days, which is sufficient for initial conclusions.
However, based on experience, the use of CGM becomes engaging due to the gamification element, which enables more stable implementation of changes in routine and diet.
Why Choose CGM Coaching
In my practice, I use special software to track your dynamics, while you receive additional insights and recommendations.
With CGM coaching, you can significantly improve your metabolic health, enhance your quality of life, and prevent many diseases.
