In this episode, the Ask Why team discusses the benefits of testing one’s blood sugar with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). They discuss how to manage having a CGM, the ideal reading on your CGM, and using it to learn what foods work with your body.
The team also discusses common mistakes that may occur when a doctor is testing a patient’s glucose levels, as well as other lifestyle aspects that may affect one’s glucose levels such as sleep, exercise, and hydration.
“Stress, poor sleep, exercise, hydration, so many things impact blood sugar, it isn’t just what you put in your mouth!” -Gina Pritchard, DNP, RN, ACNP
