- Exaggeration in the estimation of continuous glucose screens, blood sugar levels in people with no diabetes in a small study.
- More people who realize in health are wearing approved devices from the Food and Drug Administration for sale without a prescription last year.
- Although it is useful for diabetics, most people who can regulate blood sugar do not need CGMS.
Exaggeration in estimating the continuous glucose screens for blood sugar levels from people who are not diabetes in a small study, and she wonders the benefit of the noisy devices of the average person.
Researchers from the University of Bath, UK, compared the results of a single brand of CGM with a gold finger tank test when measuring blood glucose levels of 15 non -diabetes.
CGM stains provide data on blood sugar with a delay of up to 20 minutes using a sensor under the skin with a small needle. Because of the way they collect blood from users, the researchers assumed that they may give different results for finger fingers tests.
They found that CGMS is constantly exaggerated 30 % of the blood sugar levels after participants consumed fruits in various forms: including complete, mixed, and juices through a brand available in US -UK grocery stores. The results were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Wednesday.
The authors said that SMOOTHIE COMPANY Innocent Brufts funded the study but had no other participation.
CGMS is designed for diabetics. But in recent years, popularity has grown among people who realize health interested in how different foods affect blood sugar levels, hoping to prevent chronic diseases and maintain a healthy weight.
Last March, the US Food and Drug Administration has changed its approval of CGMS from the prescription only to a prescription, which means anyone can buy one.
CGMS “CGMS” said “great tools” for people with diabetes.
“However, for someone with good control of glucose, it can be misleading based on its current performance,” said Gonzalez. “For healthy individuals, reliance on CGMS can lead to unnecessary food restrictions or bad nutritional options.”
The authors acknowledged that the study was limited because they tested one brand of CGM, and that the relatively small number of participants means that the results may not be related to the wider population.
Study participants consumed fruit in various forms, including juices.

Diabetics should take blood sugar readings with a pinch of salt
Experts who did not participate in the study agreed that CGMS may cause unnecessary concern in non -patients with human patients.
Nicolas Tamtham, an academic nutritionist and researcher at Oxford University specializing in nutritional protection and type 2 diabetes management, said that the study indicates that CGMS may lead incorrectly without diabetes to believe that they suffer from diabetes before diabetes.
This is not the first study that is not eager with inaccuracy with CGMS, so people with diabetes should take the data they provide with a little salt-or do not use it at all.
In response to the study, Adam Collins, Associate Professor of Nutrition at the University of Syria, the United Kingdom, referred to his continuous research, which found that two CGMS are wearing different arms of the same person by registering different data.
Previously guessing BI why, if you do not have diabetes or diabetes, blood sugar fluctuations do not worry.
“When we think about CGMS in healthy people, it is quite normal for glucose to rise in the blood and landing.
She said that there is no evidence that high blood sugar is always followed by a flagrant decrease or also causes hunger.
Charles Brenner, a biochemical scientist who heads the Diabetes and Meetings of Cancer in Hope, told Los Angeles that data from CGMS could cause people more discomfort than they should be.
However, CGMS may have some uses for non -patients. Gabby Landsverk has already spoken to the tolerance athlete who used one, with the help of a sports dietitian, to know that she had more energy if she ate more food, including complex carbohydrates, and eaten early today.
A woman who has been exposed to diabetes to Andesfirk has informed blood sugar levels to understand foods that suit her lifestyle, which helps her to lose weight.
