Nutrisense: Glucose Monitoring 4+

A New lease on healthy habits!

The Nutrisense CGM program & app is my first use of a CGM for making adjustments to me health based on real-time data. I’ve been able yo break poor nutrition habits I excused for years because I figured I was healthy & active otherwise & instead came to see how much they affected when adjusted & how having that data motivated those changes! I can’t say enough good about the program.
Specifically, I love the intuitiveness & functionality of the data gathered. The app interface is very useable & simple to navigate. The customer service is very responsive. The main area of improvement I’d mention would be sensor durability. I’m not a swimmer or working manually even daily, & I have had the sensors last 1 out of the 2 intended weeks on 4+ occasions & have had to replace them which can lead to lost data/time if I have to request a new one. This is impacted by the adhesive cover which certainly only lasts a week before I have to replace with KT sports tape. Additionally, the RD support is useful but less so in the initial period. I would have preferred to start with an RD after 4-6 weeks of watching my data & wished I had the option to do so. The webinars & learning articles/sessions are quite useful too! I’ve used this program for 3 months & will be continuing it for the value & health habit control it provides even through my next pregnancy! Great device & app overall.

Incredible insights

First off, the NS customer support is unparalleled. They are responsive and reliable, and they genuinely care to help with any questions. The actual CGM experience has been eye-opening. I’m using one for my own curiosity, as I do not have T2 or other condition that would require keeping an eye on my glucose levels. It’s not cheap, but I’m glad I saved up for a 3-mo membership. The app itself I get to keep, which is great bc of the history of my food & journal logs. My first 2 weeks I focused on understanding the whole process; then I took a break. 2nd two weeks (so 1 month of 3) I used to see how I’d respond to specific foods and behaviors. 3rd two weeks I used while traveling internationally to see how my body handles the stress from a glucose perspective, as well as how I respond to things I normally do eat/do. It ran out during my trip so I felt a bit aimless toward the end, lol Now I’m back and after a week of being home I’m using my remaining 2 weeks of my 2nd month to see how I go adjusting to being back in my routine. I have 1 more month in my membership and as you can see, NS is super cool about stopping/starting whenever. Basically, if you activate a sensors anytime then you have 2 weeks. I also had a couple of wonky issues and NS was super cool about replacing the sensors with no issues. All in all I wish everyone could have 3mo with a CGM to learn about yourself. It’s FASCINATING data!!

Eye opening experience!

I put on my first CGM 10 days ago! Wow! Right out of the gate my first meal, lunch with my girlfriends, I thought I was having a conservative mini burger, six fries and two glasses of ice tea, minimally sweetened. Wow! My first scan after that meal was so surprising, I showed a number that was in the pre-diabetes range. Since that wake up call, I’ve been making healthier, Low carb choices with a just a few hiccup… all reflected by the immediate feedback of my CGM. I’m slowly whittling away at the 20 pounds I’ve gained over the last few years. I can honestly say I am so much happier and feels so much better. I never thought these words would come out of my mouth but I am genuinely enjoying healthy food now more than ever because it’s nutritious and satisfying.
I’m very thankful to Nutrisense. I truly believe their CGM is going to change the trajectory of my health.
