Charting a New Path: How Glucose Sensors are Driving Behavior Change in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

Welcome back to another episode of Real-Time Real Talk. This week, host Cher Pastore is joined by Emily Cornelius, a Registered Dietitian, to discuss the science behind monitoring glucose levels in individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin as well as introducing a brand new product by Dexcom called Stelo.  Having faced challenges with dieting as a young adult, Emily discovered the importance of nutrition. This experience set her on a career path and a personal mission to help more women love the way they look, eat, and feel. Through her work, she focuses on helping exhausted dieters achieve their goals by addressing the root cause of weight gain (insulin resistance) while still enjoying the foods they love. She is also well-known across social media platforms, where she highlights creative ways to eat healthily without letting diet consume all their time.   In this episode, Emily shares her experience using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and how it has helped her clients with insulin resistance and weight loss. They discuss the impact of glucose sensors on behavior change, the importance of personalized nutrition plans, and the accessibility of glucose sensors without a prescription. They also highlight the benefits of using glucose sensors in managing prediabetes and making informed food and exercise choices.   Emily and Cher also look at the brand-new product from Dexcom, Stelo, a glucose biosensor indicated for people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Stelo tracks glucose 24/7, revealing how food, exercise, and even sleep can affect glucose levels, helping you become a healthier you.   Visit www.stelo.com to find out more.
