"Diabetes is incredibly common. According to the American Diabetes Association, around 7 million people in the United States are undiagnosed, with 1 in 3 Americans at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. If you do not go on medication, you can manage the condition-a chronic metabolic disease that's characterized by elevated blood sugar levels-by exercising and watching what you eat (very, very closely)."
"In the past few years, the tools that diabetics use to help manage their condition have become more widely available. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like the Abbott Lingo and the Dexcom Stelo used to be available only by prescription. Now that you can buy them on Amazon, more and more people are realizing that eating like a diabetic isn't a bad idea. It's not revolutionary to say that prioritizing lean protein and fiber-rich vegetables and developing an exercise habit helps you get leaner."
Diabetes affects millions, with around 7 million undiagnosed and one in three Americans at risk for type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be managed without medication through disciplined exercise and careful dietary choices emphasizing lean protein and fiber-rich vegetables. Continuous glucose monitors such as Abbott Lingo and Dexcom Stelo have become widely available to consumers and can be purchased individually. Each device pairs with proprietary apps and many fitness trackers. Signos partners with Dexcom to supply two sensors per month, an AI-enabled weight-loss platform with insights and plans, and 24/7 glucose monitoring. CGMs are applied via a dispenser that inserts a tiny needle into subcutaneous tissue to measure glucose in interstitial fluid.
