Glycemic Monitoring

Meaning

Glycemic monitoring is the clinical and personal practice of systematically measuring and tracking an individual’s blood glucose concentration over time to assess carbohydrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This includes both point-in-time measurements and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to reveal patterns and trends in glucose variability. Effective glycemic monitoring is crucial for managing diabetes, preventing metabolic syndrome, and optimizing overall hormonal health, as chronic glucose dysregulation profoundly impacts insulin, cortisol, and sex hormone balance. The data gathered allows for precise, personalized dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
