Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) — small devices worn on the upper arm that track blood glucose in real time — have transformed diabetes management. They are also becoming powerful tools for keto optimisation in non-diabetic users.
A small filament inserted just beneath the skin measures interstitial glucose every few minutes. Data is transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone app, providing a continuous graph of blood glucose throughout the day and night.
CGMs allow immediate feedback on how different foods, exercise, and stress affect blood glucose. This enables precise dietary fine-tuning that is impossible with finger-prick testing alone.
CGMs reveal personal glucose responses to specific foods — some people spike significantly from foods labelled “keto-friendly.” This personalised data is invaluable for optimisation.
Post-meal spikes above 7.8 mmol/L, overnight baseline levels, and average daily glucose (time in range) are the key metrics to monitor.
Our keto salads and keto main dishes are built around foods that consistently support stable blood sugar.
