Imprecision nutrition? Different simultaneous continuous glucose monitors provide discordant meal rankings for incremental postprandial glucose in subjects without diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High postprandial glucose excursions may increase risk for disease. Individuals have widely varying glucose responses to different meals, and precision nutrition approaches often seek to personalize diets to minimize postprandial glycemic responses as measured by continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). However, it is unknown whether different CGM devices result in concordant meal rankings according to postprandial glycemic excursions.

Objective

We explored whether meal rankings according to postprandial glycemic excursions differ between 2 simultaneously worn CGMs.

Methods

We collected 27,489 simultaneous measurements from Dexcom G4 Platinum and Abbott Freestyle Libre Pro CGMs during 28 inpatient days in 16 adults without diabetes. Simultaneous glucose measurem
