Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): Normal vs. Functional Optimal Ranges
Standard CGM reference ranges miss early metabolic dysfunction. Learn the difference between 'normal' and functionally optimal glucose targets, what the data shows, and how to act on your CGM readings.
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): What This Test Actually Measures
A CGM tracks interstitial glucose every 1 to 5 minutes, generating up to 288 readings per day. Learn what it measures, normal ranges, key metrics like Time in Range, and how clinicians use CGM data to guide treatment.
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): What Your Numbers Change About Your Treatment
How CGM data, including time in range, glycemic variability, and glucose patterns, directly alters medication choices, dosing, and lifestyle prescriptions in diabetes and metabolic care.
Drugs That Distort CGM Readings: Medications That Cause False Highs and Lows
Acetaminophen, vitamin C, hydroxyurea, and other medications can produce inaccurate continuous glucose monitor readings. Learn which drugs interfere with CGM sensors and how to protect your data.
Evidence-Based Ways to Improve Your Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Numbers
Clinically supported strategies to optimize CGM readings, reduce glycemic variability, and maintain time-in-range targets backed by ADA, AACE, and Endocrine Society guidelines.
