We continuously monitor blood glucose levels, in other words, glycemia. For Glycemic Flex, it is essential for us to do this because higher glycemic flexes reduce the elevation when consuming low glycemic index foods, and low glycemic load is reflected in a decrease in the daily average of blood glucose values, also known as daily average glycemia.

For these reasons, we can use simpler or more complex measuring tools, either a glucometer with which we perform many measurements and reconstruct the curve from points, or the most modern one with a CGM, meaning Continuous Glucose Monitoring, which is a sensor that measures blood glucose in real-time, and we can visualize both instant values, averages, and the curve on a mobile phone.

Glycemic Flex also uses and helps you understand the functioning of the Dexcom system, namely the Dexcom One sensor, which shows real-time blood glucose levels after each meal or food, showing maximum and minimum values, the curve’s ascent, and how quickly it decreases and stabilizes over time. Additionally, during exercise, you can see in real-time how blood glucose values decrease.
