Continuous glucose monitoring in a healthy population: understanding the post-prandial glycemic response in individuals without diabetes mellitus

Continuous glucose monitoring has become a common adjunct in the management of Diabetes Mellitus. However, there has been a recent trend among individuals without diabetes using these devices as a means of monitoring their health.

Description
Summary:	Continuous glucose monitoring has become a common adjunct in the management of Diabetes Mellitus. However, there has been a recent trend among individuals without diabetes using these devices as a means of monitoring their health. The increased visibility of glucose data has allowed users to study the effect lifestyle has upon post-prandial glucose levels. Although post-prandial hyperglycemia is well understood in the setting of diabetes, its impact in individuals without diabetes is less well defined. This article reviews the factors which contribute to post-prandial hyperglycemia in individuals without diabetes and how the data obtained from continuous glucose monitoring can be used to improve an individual's metabolic health. [Display omitted] •Continuous Glucose Monitoring can readily identify post-prandial hyperglycaemic spikes.•Glucose spikes following meals vary considerably among otherwise healthy individuals.•Glucose spikes are associated with greater hunger and poorer mental health and sleep.•Glucose spikes are associated with greater mortality risk from cardiovascular disease.
