Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data

Meaning

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Data refers to the high-resolution, time-series measurements of interstitial glucose levels collected automatically and continuously, typically every few minutes, by a small wearable sensor. In the context of hormonal health, this data is an invaluable clinical tool for assessing metabolic flexibility, identifying patterns of insulin resistance, and evaluating the impact of dietary, exercise, and stress interventions on glucose homeostasis. Unlike a single point-in-time blood draw, CGM data provides a dynamic, kinetic profile of glucose excursions and stability, offering deep insights into the interplay between insulin, cortisol, and other counter-regulatory hormones. This objective metric is foundational for optimizing metabolic health and mitigating chronic disease risk.
