From snapshots to a curve

A single fasting glucose level showed clinicians what one moment looked like. A continuous monitor shows the whole day, including the hours after meals and overnight, which is where most surprises hide.

Three numbers to watch

Time in range, average glucose, and variability. Time in range matters most for daily decisions. The average tracks long term risk. Variability explains why two people with identical averages can feel very different.

Bringing it to your appointment

Export a two week report rather than a single day. Two weeks is long enough to show a real pattern and short enough that you can still remember what changed.
