Are there any dietary restrictions while using DexCom CGM?

DexCom does not impose specific dietary restrictions for individuals using their continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. However, it is important to keep in mind that the purpose of the DexCom CGM is to help users monitor their glucose levels more effectively. Therefore, making informed dietary choices can significantly impact glucose management. Many users find it helpful to work closely with healthcare professionals, such as dietitians or endocrinologists, to develop a personalized meal plan that aligns with their lifestyle and glucose goals. Generally, focusing on a balanced diet that includes whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber can be beneficial. It is also advisable to monitor how different foods affect glucose levels when using the CGM, as individual responses to foods can vary.
