Abstract

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a sensorbased glucose-measuring technology, initially developed for diabetes management that gives insight into interstitial glucose levels. Healthy persons and athletes have increasingly used it, but in the mentioned instances it lacks data on how CGM-measured glucose values affect health outcomes and what are the limits of desired glucose levels. The main CGM use by healthy populations is to modify dietary choices according to personal metabolic responses although it should be used with caution, while its utility for understanding and modifying individualized dietary responses is limited by the numerous non-dietary factors influencing glycemic control. In the case of its use by athletes, one must additionally have in mind the duration and intensity of training together with its timing to meal.
