Why monitor blood glucose levels?
Keeping blood glucose levels stable within an optimal range, is crucial for overall health and feeling better.
Short-term, it can support sustained energy and performance, enhance focus, improve mood & cognition, and reduce food cravings.
Long-term, stable glucose levels can help prevent chronic conditions like high cholesterol, hypertension and obesity, which may lead to diabetes and heart disease.
Glucose levels are impacted by lifestyle factors like food, activity, stress and sleep so gaining a deeper understanding of this data can help create a personalized action plan to achieve your nutrition, fitness, and health goals.
How Optimum Glucose helps you live healthier

Live better with balanced
blood glucose
-
Consuming a high-carb meal can sometimes cause a post-meal slump. Eating food initially provides a boost in energy but as your body releases insulin to lower your blood sugar, you may start to feel tired or crash. Understanding the impact of certain foods and order of foods you eat on your blood glucose can help you make food and activity choices to maintain consistent energy levels.
-
Eating refined carbs can lead to a rapid and dramatic spike in blood sugar levels, resulting in a jolt of energy and a mood uplift. The body then releases insulin to counter the rise in blood sugar levels eventually causing blood glucose levels to fall quickly. This creates a “crash and burn” effect associated with symptoms like fatigue and irritability.
-
Elevated blood sugar levels could translate to higher levels of certain hormones such as IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1). IGF-1 may predispose some people to acne and higher sugar levels can also cause collagen damage due to glycation (aging). Stopping sugar spikes can help reduce glycation and mitigate its negative effects, therefore slowing down skin aging.
-
Balanced blood sugar levels reduce hunger and cravings, making it easier to avoid overeating and make healthier food choices, curbing emotional eating by improving mood. Stable blood sugar also means consistent insulin levels, which reduces fat storage and aids in weight management.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is NOVI Optimum Glucose?
NOVI Optimum Glucose is designed to help individuals track how their food and activities impact their glucose levels in real time. It includes personalized consultations to develop a nutrition plan tailored to specific health goals. Additionally, participants receive ongoing digital nutrition and health coaching for continuous support and guidance. -
What is health coaching?
Health coaching will help equip you with the knowledge, tools, skills, and confidence to manage your glucose levels. Health coaching may be performed in person or remotely like we do at NOVI, but could depend on your provider.
Health coaching can provide you with benefits such as:- Self-management support including the promotion of healthy behaviors and lifestyle changes and teaching illness-specific skills
- Disease-based knowledge including answering any questions you may have about your illness, medications, and other treatments
- Aiding you in the navigation of the healthcare system including assistance with locating and engaging in other medical services
-
Why does NOVI use CGM and health coaching as part of our care and treatment model?
Around-the-clock glucose readings offered by CGMs serve little purpose in blood sugar management unless you take action to improve your glucose levels. This is where a reliable training and coaching program comes into play.
At NOVI, we work hand-in-hand with patients to create a holistic treatment plan that best suits their unique situation and needs. We use CGMs throughout the process to better understand how patients' glucose levels change in response to their lifestyle choices: from food intake to physical activity. This in turn helps us provide more targeted, actionable advice that'll help improve diabetes control. -
How can a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) help with blood glucose management?
Regular monitoring of glucose is key to good blood glucose control for those with diabetes or for those who are looking to optimize their blood sugar. Compared to glucometers, CGMs monitor glucose conveniently, continuously, and painlessly.
The data gathered by continuous glucose monitoring sensors can provide valuable insights into your daily lifestyle choices and better enable healthcare professionals like NOVI to provide actionable blood glucose management advice tailored to your unique needs. Examples include:
- Suggesting food swaps that reduce blood sugar spikes
- Recommending foods that help prevent blood sugar dips
- Adjusting your medication based on your unique glucose patterns
-
Do I have to undergo big changes to my diet and lifestyle?
You will not be asked to make big, uncomfortable changes to your diet and lifestyle. We want to help you make changes that will stick with you, so it is very important that our advice fits as closely to your preferences as possible and progresses at a pace that is comfortable for you. -
Will I have to follow a nutrition or diet plan?
We will suggest food swaps that you will enjoy and teach you how to make modifications to the food you enjoy so that they can contribute towards a balanced diet for you. If you are someone who enjoys preparing your meals, we can also provide advice on meal prepping to make your meals healthier. -
What kind of diet will I follow?
Our dietitians will work with you on your food preferences to find a way of eating that is sustainable for you that is also tailored to meet your nutritional needs. We believe that this is key for an individual to make long-term changes to their diet.
We will look at the foods you are eating regularly, help you understand how they affect your health, and provide you with suggestions to make your meals healthier.
If there is a specific diet that you would like to try (e.g., Keto, vegan, Mediterranean), you can discuss this with your dietitian during the program. -
