The CGM is FDA approved for treatment on intensive insulin. What that means is that insurance will pay for it if you take several shots of insulin everyday and are dependent on insulin. In my practice, The CGM can also be in mainstream for prevention of diabetes progression or diabetes reversal. There are affordable ways to get one with a doctor's prescription if you have to pay out of pocket.
The first step is Diagnosing and identifying blood sugar variability and all of its factors.
The second step is to behavior change which is a key element.
I like to use cgm to personalize diet and metabolic health. I bring the data from the CGM down to pt lvl and how to apply to real life and what is causing your blood sugars to vary. Many people will talk about their mid day or mid morning slump. They may feel like they need a snack to bring up their energy. Once you get to see cGM on you can compare that with your data. And all of a sudden you put together your subject is dealing with the objective data. To substantiate it.
Our whole metabolic health profile is a really multivariant things. Our blood sugar responses are the only gauge that we have to judge it. Digital tools getting us into the awareness of our physical body. There are already software and apps that can overlap all of these factors, and we can use the reuse those in our clinical settings. Food pairing food timing exercise stress all these things affect how food affect your glucose. However they are not large populations studies to look at this type of granularity. So it requires someone with a lot of knowledge and a trained eye.
Nutrition is perhaps the biggest question for everybody. And being a doctor does not make someone qualified in nutrition. So people look towards food marketing and a mariad of online nutritional advice and this has created a world of confused consumers. . People may use all of these products and they buy all these special diet drinks and bars and supplements in their lives and their bodies and think that they are really winning.The CGM plus my knowledge is the ultimate way to move past the food park marketing and unreliable information and finally figure out what’s best for your body individually.
Did you know that the same foods can affect two people very differently?
For example. Certain fruits Make blood sugar go higher for some people.
A pint of blueberries may make my blood sugar go up to 150 here. Certainly I want to keep my blood sugar in the 70 to 90 range at the most 110. I find that if I have parent with high-fiber and high fat and that is morning easily accomplished.There are a number of things that can determine how things are processed in the body. Can you think about the micro biome. We can think about the factors in fact insulin sensitivity. We can think about fat fiber and protein. How they affect other things such as microbiome, gastric motility, Something unbeknown to science with the protein threshold effects in type 1. So pairing things properly is part of key to this.
There are a lot of other confounders to consider. We become more insulin resistant as the day goes on.The timing of the day. It may be better to eat a pint of blueberries in the middle of the day or even in the morning than it is at night time. Melatonin desensitizes are insulin.TAC a little exercise on it before or after. The type of exercise and timing of it matters. We will even want to consider how much sleep you had the night, the microbiome composition and a dynamic immune system sensitivity. It’s about looking at one item but it’s also about looking at all the other sectors. It’s also important to even think about the fact such an apple today is not the same as an apple that was 60 years ago. Our apples are sweeter, they’re more perfect. They’re full of more pesticides.
I have trained fully in the conventional medical system and I also am trained in holistic health, which is the health of the whole person mind and body. It is imperative to consider that there are all types of exposures: food environmental physical mental and if you take a Vin diagram and put it all together would you find Inflammation. There are these inflammatory cytokines. How do we affect is inflammatory pathways to keep people healthy. And in the end we may have multi various on the hill affect on health. Because all of these things translate into our bodies fundamental help. With my medical education, I can help the patient draw the lines between all the seemingly disparate different conditions they have.
I understand what it is like to see my diabetes patient in the traditional office visits and have to address all the medical maintenance stuff.. As much as we want to be on our patient's shoulder every day to help with these micro decisions, that is not plausible with a visit once every three months. So that’s what led me to a business that can scale the efforts and really make it real impact. It’s also about the tools that we have to give you to make like lasting sustainable changes.
