Hi there! Dr. Tony and pharmacist Quran here, and today we want to talk about something near and dear to our hearts- the fantastic benefits of continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs.
You may be wondering what a CGM is and why it’s essential. Simply put, a CGM device allows you to monitor your blood glucose levels continuously. By providing real-time glucose readings, CGMs allow individuals to identify patterns and trends in their glucose levels that they may not have seen otherwise. This information can be critical in helping individuals understand how their diet, stress levels, exercise habits, and medication can impact their blood glucose levels- ultimately leading to better control of their diabetes.
As healthcare professionals, we’ve seen firsthand how CGMs have changed the lives of many of our patients. Unfortunately, many people don’t have access to this technology because it’s often not covered by insurance. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to an affordable option- Thea Health. As an affiliate partner, we’re pleased to offer our patients an affordable way to use this life-changing technology.
But why should anyone consider using a CGM in the first place? Well, let’s talk about metabolic health for a moment. It’s no secret that most Americans struggle with metabolic health. A recent study by Tufts University found that only 7% of Americans are metabolically healthy! Poor metabolic health is linked to many chronic conditions, including heart disease, hypertension, dementia, cancer, etc. By making lifestyle changes, such as modifying your diet, exercise routine, and stress levels, you can improve your metabolic health and reduce your risk of developing these conditions.
However, one of the biggest causes of poor metabolic health is hyperinsulinemia, primarily caused by high glucose level spikes. This is where CGMs come in. By monitoring your glucose levels continuously, you can identify when and why these spikes are occurring and make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. This information is critical for preventing or reversing poor metabolic health.
But the benefits of CGMs don’t stop there. In addition to monitoring for glycemic variability, CGMs allow individuals to receive immediate feedback on how various factors impact their blood glucose levels, like what they’re eating, how much stress they’re experiencing, how much sleep they’re getting, and more. This feedback can help individuals make better decisions at the moment and avoid glycemic variability. Plus, the feedback can serve as a coach and accountability partner- reminding individuals of their goals and helping them stick to them.
We know that making lifestyle changes can be challenging, and we’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for our patients. But with CGMs, individuals have a powerful tool to help them achieve their goals and improve their health. The impact of improved metabolic health is immeasurable- it can lead to a longer, healthier life full of energy and vitality.
So, if you’re struggling with your metabolic health or want to take control of your diabetes, we highly recommend considering a CGM. And with our affiliate partner, Thea Health, access to this life-changing technology is more affordable than ever. We hope that this article has been informative and has inspired you to take action toward improving your health. Thanks for reading!
Oh, and we can’t finish this article without sharing a humorous story that illustrates the impact of CGMs. One of our patients, let’s call her Mary, was an avid baker- she loved baking all sorts of sugary treats for her family and friends. But when we recommended that she try a CGM, Mary was shocked to see how high her glucose levels were after indulging in her delicious treats. Seeing the impact of her baking on her glucose levels was a wake-up call for Mary, and she’s since modified her recipes and portions to make them more diabetes-friendly. Now, she enjoys baking and CGM together- it’s like having a personal chef and coach all in one!

Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the benefits of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) for achieving metabolic health. While only 7% of Americans are metabolically healthy, CGMs can help monitor blood glucose levels and prevent chronic health conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. The video recommends Thea Health as an affordable option for obtaining a CGM and highlights the benefits of continuous monitoring, including immediate feedback and better decision-making. Glycemic variability is also discussed, and CGMs are shown to help avoid fluctuations in blood glucose levels that can lead to complications. The video encourages viewers to consider a CGM in their journey toward becoming metabolically healthy.
