CGM Alert: Your Blood Sugar Monitor Is Fooling You? 🚨 #cgm #glucose

Thank God she got up and walked around for absolutely no reason at all

[heinzkerger]

Your presentation absolutely hits the point. It is a pleasure to follow you. H., M.D., GER

My glucose levels went up watching this video.

[rajasekarpandian]

She got up from chair..Went behind gave a couple of photo stills and came back and sat.. 😂😂😂

[maxencemayanika]

Blessed be the Man who lowers her glucose 🎉😅

[maxineverdes]

I like your explanation. Clear and simple

[JRR]

Love the short videos, but of course I LIKE the longer ones for in depth SPECIFICS-- LIKE needing to know which tech we can use that does measure the glucose in the blood than the fluid between the cells. <3

Thanks for the explanation, I'm type 2.The order in how to eat my food
is golden.My blood sugar takes longer to Flatten instead 1 hr it's around 90 mins.I'm using the order of eating that you wrote and heard from your YouTube videos.
I'm using them at each sitting of food,

So I see clearly the changes by understanding the glucose Load and eat food under 10 GL. After my meal that I had for Breakfast 3 hrs later my reading 6.3 times 18=113.4
13.4%>from Pre-Diabetic.
Thank you I'm slowly going through your 2 books.
The mechanism you have explained,
Allows me the potential to manage keeping my BLS.flatten with minimum spikes.
Over 3 weeks, my BLS.is now 13.4 %
Above being pre-Diabetic.
Thank you.

Never realized glucose can be a universe of its own

I have watched it five times before I could listen to the topic rather than just watch it.

*Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)* is an advanced method for tracking glucose (sugar) levels in the body throughout the day and night. CGM systems use a small sensor inserted under the skin, typically on the abdomen or arm, which measures glucose in the interstitial fluid (the fluid between cells). This sensor sends real-time glucose readings to a display device (like a smartphone or dedicated receiver) every few minutes, providing trends and patterns in glucose levels that can help users manage diabetes more effectively.

*CGM Technique:*

*Sensor Placement:* A tiny, flexible filament is inserted under the skin using an automatic injector. This filament is part of the sensor that measures glucose levels.
Transmitter Attachment: The sensor connects to a small transmitter fixed on the skin. This transmitter sends real-time data wirelessly to a monitoring device.
Data Display: Glucose readings are displayed on the device continuously. Most CGMs also provide alerts if glucose levels are too high or too low.
Accuracy and Reliability:
CGM systems are generally very accurate, but their precision can vary based on the model and the location of the sensor. CGM accuracy is often measured by the Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD), with a lower MARD indicating higher accuracy. Modern CGM systems typically have a MARD ranging from 8% to 15%, making them quite reliable for day-to-day management of glucose levels.

*Comparison with Traditional Methods:*

*Fingerstick Glucose Testing:* The traditional method involves pricking the finger to get a blood sample and using a glucose meter to read the sugar level at that moment. This method provides a snapshot of the glucose level, which can vary significantly throughout the day.

*Accuracy:* Generally, fingerstick measurements are very accurate, often with a MARD less than CGM systems. However, they only provide a momentary glucose level.
Frequency of Testing: Limited by how often a user is willing or able to perform the test, which might miss fluctuations.

*HbA1c Tests:* These are lab tests done every 2-3 months to get an average glucose level over this period. While useful for long-term management, they don't provide information on daily fluctuations or the impacts of meals, exercise, and medications.

*Accuracy:* Very reliable for long-term trends but doesn't help with daily glucose management.

*Benefits of CGM:*
Continuous Monitoring: Offers a detailed view of glucose trends throughout the day and night.
Early Warning: Alarms for high or low levels can prevent dangerous episodes.
Data Insights: Helps in understanding the impact of diet, exercise, and medications on glucose levels.
*Limitations:*
Cost: Generally more expensive than traditional fingerstick meters and test strips.

Maintenance: Sensors typically need to be replaced every 7-14 days depending on the model.
Calibration: Some models require occasional fingerstick tests to calibrate the sensor.
*Conclusion:*
CGMs offer a high level of accuracy and the additional benefits of real-time continuous monitoring and trend analysis, which can significantly improve diabetes management compared to traditional methods. However, their cost and maintenance requirements might be a consideration for some users. Overall, for those who can access and afford them, CGMs represent a substantial improvement in diabetes care technology.

Thank you for all your hard work to get us this information to help us

[shakalalakoo]

Oh man!! Your tips work!!
Now im losing weight faster than planned but Omg! I don't want to be too skinny

[christophgeorgey]

This gal is really impressive. Her explanations are so clear that even a schmuck like me can understand and learn the necessary lesson.

[Mylo_madness]

Love ur content but I wish u / we had content that helped people with type1 / type2 and got specific cause they need our help the most as they are at a greater risk

[sharons.]

Thank you for the information. I really like the way you break this glucose monitor data down. Im making small changes at a time

[anishamm]

J’apprécie beaucoup tes conseils et la façon dont tu les présentes. J’aime aussi le fait que tu as ton style particulier de présentation et aussi vestimentaire. Cependant, comme un vétéran de la photographie (de mode entre autre), mais aussi un réalisateur vidéo (et donc quelqu’un qui se spécialise en Image), j’ai l’impression que cette belle tenue vestimentaire et ces mouvements de caméra sont par moment une nuisance à l’attention de l’auditoire et aussi à la crédibilité du contenu, etc.
Ceci étant, moi, personnellement je t’écoute régulièrement et je fais abstraction des ces additifs.
Bonne continuation

[jono]

I never heard a word that was spoken. I have to rewatch this.

[TheCeo_]

Hilarious outfit. Is that the fashion in France right now. Ha ha. 😂

[luigiberardoforgione]

It is divine to see your presentation. It really is
