I am so excited to welcome Carlee Hayes, RDN, CD to the show today! Carlee is the Lead Dietitian at Nutrisense, a company that personalizes nutrition with the use of Continuous Glucose Monitors. 

If you don't know what a CGM is, it's this small, white, circular device that tracks your blood glucose continuously. It hooks up to an app on your phone so you can see the graph of what your blood sugar does over time which is incredibly eye opening and enlightening. 

On this episode, Carlee and I chat about:

  • The benefits of wearing CGMs
  • Why you want to know what your blood sugar is doing
  • What is glycemic control and why is it imporant
  • What are the ideal blood glucose ranges
  • What do you want to see your blood sugar doing - what's considered "good" or "normal"
  • Hacks to reduce blood sugar from elevating
  • What we can infer about insulin from looking at our blood sugar
  • What are some non-food factors that we see spiking blood sugar
  • What causes people to wake up in the middle of the night
  • How circadian rhythm and sleep affect blood glucose and vice versa
  • How alcohol impacts blood glucose

If you want to get your hands on a CGM from Nutrisense, click HERE: https://www.nutrisense.io/ and be sure to use my code SUGARSHACKLES to get $25 off any of their monthly packages.

Remember, CGMs require prescriptions in the US and Nutrisense takes care of the prescription for you! You even get paired up with a dietitian to help you interpret your data!
