Knowledge is Power!
Being able to see your glucose responses to food, exercise, and other lifestyle habits in real-time will identify what you are doing well and where there is room for improvement. We are here to help you develop your personalized route to optimized health.
Let's take a look at what to expect from the first week of the program:
-
Take the first 24 hours to let the CGM calibrate. This is the time to get used to wearing the CGM and get to know the app. Make sure to scan your CGM a minimum of every 8 hours.
-
Be careful not to hit your CGM on walls or doors, or catch on clothing. The CGM needs to stay on for the full 14 days and cannot be re-inserted if it falls off early. Make sure to wear the included Nutrisense bandage cover for added protection.
-
Go about your normal routines and habits so you can learn how your day-to-day life impacts your glucose values. This is an important step to gather baseline data before you start to make changes.
-
After you activate your first CGM, your dietitian will be messaging you through the chat inside the Nutrisense app. They will help you understand your data, identify trouble areas, and come up with solutions to improve your metrics.
-
Your dietitian is a great resource to help you make specific goals, give feedback on a glucose response, provide accountability, or address any health-related questions - just send over a message in the app! Your dietitian is here to help you reach your goals, so please utilize this resource and share your questions as you think of them. Here is how to communicate with your dietitian.
-
The customer support team is here to help address any questions you may have about using the app. Do you have questions about how to use your app? Here is how to reach out to customer support! Alternatively, you can always look up our app feature guide at the help desk.

Use the knowledge available at your fingertips. We have an extensive Help Desk that provides insights on how to use the app, how to use the CGM, as well as health basics. This is a great resource to help you on your journey.

This first week is focused on exploration – figuring out what your baseline glucose levels are, how your normal routine affects your glucose and starting to understand how different actions impact your values. After getting a good baseline of your data, we can work on testing different variables or adjusting your routine to improve your data!
