If you are living with Type 2 diabetes, your daily finger prick provides just one moment of information, one second of data in a 24-hour cycle that includes 86,399 other seconds. What happens to your blood sugar between meals, after a walk, or during sleep? Traditional monitoring does not provide answers.
Why use a CGM?
A CGM device tracks your blood sugar every 5 minutes, 288 readings per day, without the need for daily pricking. It reveals the full story: how your body reacts to specific meals, physical activity, stress, and even poor sleep. Most importantly, it gives you the context behind the numbers.
By wearing a CGM, you can answer critical questions like:
- Are my morning sugars being affected by my dinner choices?
- Why do I feel tired in the afternoon?
- Is my bedtime snack helping or hurting?
Why It Matters, Even Without Insulin
You do not need to be on insulin to benefit from utilizing a CGM. According to the 2021 Diabetes Canada Guidelines, CGM use improves blood sugar control and empowers better self-management for individuals with Type 2 diabetes. It helps reduce glucose spikes, improve “time in range,” and make it easier to see the real impact of lifestyle choices. Incorporating a CGM into your diabetes care has shown to lower your A1C, the clinical metric used to monitor diabetes.1 Many of our clients use CGM to get a baseline: to understand how food, movement, and stress affect them uniquely. It is personalized, immediate feedback that drives motivation.
