Newly Affordable Technology Helps You Make Positive Health Improvements!
Insulin resistance and chronically elevated blood glucose are gateways to numerous disease pathways, including cardiovascular disease—the leading cause of death in the USA. The current standard approach to managing elevated blood glucose levels primarily relies on medications such as metformin and insulin. While these medications address the immediate threat to your health, they often fail to target the root cause of the problem.
Typically, your doctor will advise you to eat healthily, exercise, and lose weight, while prescribing medication to manage your acute condition. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress. However, without additional tools or insights, this acute management approach often evolves into a chronic treatment protocol. The root cause of the dysfunction remains unresolved, leaving you to address it on your own without sufficient guidance, strategies, or support.
At Better for Life Functional Medicine Center, I recommend lifestyle modifications to ALL patients that directly tackle the underlying root causes of insulin resistance. Chronically elevated glucose levels are linked to obesity, heart disease, inflammation, arthritis, and more. Fortunately, advancements in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology now make it easier than ever to understand your body’s unique relationship with blood glucose, exercise, stress, and diet.
With a CGM device and a free smartphone app, you can monitor your glucose levels in real time. This technology allows you to see how your body responds to choices related to rest, activity, food, stress, sleep, and other lifestyle factors. By observing the immediate impact of your decisions, you’ll gain actionable insights into what works best for your health.
Armed with this personalized understanding, you’ll have the confidence to make informed decisions, knowing they positively affect your health. This feedback loop enhances motivation and increases your likelihood of achieving long-term health improvements.
