Sometimes I get so busy that I would forget to eat lunch, and then get headaches. I was curious if it had to do something with blood sugar. The CGM data was very insightful.

I joined because I was interested in weight loss and understanding my pre-diabetes risk. The CGM data helped me monitor my blood sugar and gave me excellent control over keeping my blood sugar flat.

What our patients say
A CGM is so much better than finger sticks. I realized I was having hypoglycemia overnight and spiking a lot in other situations. I used to eat dinner late, now I eat earlier and I'm incorporating more exercise.

What our patients say
I've been trying to stick to a super low-carb diet but it doesn't feel great and it's not sustainable. The CGM and my primary care doctor have really helped me find the right choices for me.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does this health assessment cost?
    The cost of the program will depend on your insurance coverage, but it should amount to the cost of a single provider visit. The program includes a voucher for a CGM device that you will provide to Alto Pharmacy, who will reach out to coordinate delivery of the CGM.
  • Who is eligible?
    Currently, people between the ages of 18 and 65 who live in California are eligible to participate in the program. We accept many types of insurance and offer options for self-pay as well. 
  • Why a CGM?
    A CGM provides the opportunity to learn and understand how your blood glucose responds in real time to your meals, physical activity, and daily lifestyle. It also provides about a hundred glucose readings per day, all without painful finger pricks.
  • Will a provider be monitoring my day to day blood sugar readings?
    At the beginning of the program, participants will be provided with material and instructions on how to use the CGM and properly read their blood sugar levels. We recommend that participants book a provider visit ahead of time so they can ask questions and discuss the significance of their readings with a medical professional at the end of the program.
  • What is the expected response time after submitting a message to Carbon Health?
    You can expect to hear from central support within 24 hours of sending your first message. Any additional messages are typically answered within four hours. 
  • What are the benefits of the Abbott Freestyle Libre 14-Day Sensor CGM?
    The Freestyle Libre sensor measures glucose in the interstitial fluid and is FDA approved for use on the back of the upper arm. Unlike other sensors, the Freestyle Libre sensor is good for 14 days, which means you won’t have to replace it during your metabolic health assessment. 
  • Does a CGM hurt? 
    Continuous glucose monitoring allows you to obtain a complete record of your blood sugar levels without daily finger pricks and with little discomfort. Many people  prefer this method to traditional at-home blood sugar tests.
  • How do I read my blood sugar levels / what should I be looking for when I read my blood sugar levels?
    When you are reading your blood sugar levels, it’s important to look at the overall picture. Variations in your blood sugar levels throughout the day reflect how your body absorbs and stores glucose. People without diabetes typically see their blood sugar levels rise no more than 50 mg/dL with meals, while levels tend to fall below 100 mg/dL while fasting (for instance, overnight). People with prediabetes or diabetes are likely to see higher levels than these. You’ll have an opportunity to dive deeper into what your data means with your healthcare provider at the follow-up visit, so jot down a list of questions as you go!
