#86 - Understanding Blood Sugar Management & Continuous Glucose Monitoring (Part 2) with Brittany Wharton

In this episode, Brittany and Nicole continue their discussion on Blood Sugar Management and Diabetes Education. They talk about the benefits of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), which is a tiny device that can be inserted into the body to show real-time glucose readings. CGM provides quick feedback without causing much pain, and it can help diabetic patients understand what's going on inside their bodies and why their blood sugar levels are spiking. 

They also emphasize the importance of taking control of your health and using tools like CGM to make informed decisions. By understanding your body's response to food and making small lifestyle changes, you can significantly improve your health outcomes and prevent chronic disease.

Here are some key points they discuss:

• CGM is a tiny device that provides real-time glucose readings without causing much pain.
• The device can help diabetic patients understand why their blood sugar levels are spiking and make informed decisions about their health.
• CGM is a game-changer in diabetes management because it allows individuals to learn about their bodies and prevent health issues down the road.
• Factors that can influence blood sugar levels include food, medication, illness, and stress. 
• Understanding how your body responds to food is crucial for regulating blood sugar levels, and the hosts offer simple tricks to help.
• CGM can also benefit non-diabetics by revealing the impact of certain foods and drinks on blood sugar levels.
• Making small changes to diet and exercise can significantly improve health outcomes and prevent chronic disease.
