Better health begins with glucose awareness
Knowledge is power. Especially when it comes to your glucose.
What is glucose?
Glucose is your body’s primary source of fuel and comes from the foods you eat. When you eat carbs like bread, rice, fruits, and veggies, your body breaks them down into glucose that enters your bloodstream to power your body’s cells.
Why should I care about glucose?
Healthy glucose levels support stable energy, brain function, disease prevention, and more. Understanding your glucose is especially important for those living with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes but can benefit everyone. Using a glucose biosensor to track glucose can show your body’s patterns to guide healthy adjustments and improve metabolic health.
What impacts glucose levels?
Almost everything, from your morning bagel to your nightly Zzzs. Glucose levels are constantly fluctuating, influenced by what you eat, physical activity, sleep, and even stress. Things like dehydration, medication, and hormonal changes also impact glucose.
By the numbers:
Why glucose matters for everyone
Despite its importance, glucose is often a misunderstood health metric. Using a biosensor to track glucose is gaining traction as a proactive health tool that experts are endorsing for everyone.
Only 39% of Americans without diabetes are familiar with the role glucose plays in overall health.¹
Only 29% of people without diabetes are knowledgeable about managing their own glucose.¹
74% of healthcare professionals agree glucose monitoring is relevant for everyone, not just for people with diabetes.¹
More than 50% of healthcare professionals believe that glucose monitoring should be part of standard preventative care for people without diabetes.¹
Get a clearer picture of your health with a glucose biosensor
Make the invisible visible with a glucose biosensor—a small wearable that tracks your glucose 24/7. A glucose biosensor sends glucose data right to your smartphone, revealing how food, activity, sleep, and stress affect your glucose.
Did you know?
Glucose biosensors aren’t just for people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes—they can benefit anyone who wants to better understand their body and unlock a new level of health.
Discover how a glucose biosensor can empower a healthier you.
Your goals. Your body. Your data.
Everyone’s health journey looks a little different. Whether you’re trying to navigate your family health history, curious to see what really boosts your energy, or eager to level up your nutrition game, tracking your glucose can help you find out what works for you.
Know your family history. Reinvent the outcome.
Just because it runs in the family doesn’t mean it has to run your life—when you use a glucose biosensor to track your glucose trends, you’re taking an important step in managing your health. Seeing how your current habits impact your glucose can help you make small changes that have a big impact.
Master your metabolism. Boost your energy.
Glucose levels can influence hunger hormones. When glucose rises and falls quickly, you might feel hungrier or crave sugary foods. When glucose is more stable, you may experience fewer cravings. Using a glucose biosensor to understand your body’s patterns is key to unlocking steady energy, feeling in control, and enjoying your days to the fullest.
Build habits that stick. Unlock lasting health.
Understanding your glucose helps you see how everyday choices—like what you eat, when you move, and how you sleep—affect your energy and cravings. Using a glucose biosensor to track your trends can help you make small adjustments that lead to healthier routines and steadier glucose. Over time, these adjustments become habits that add up to a more balanced, energized, and resilient you.
