Wearable CGM
Over 30 percent of Americans use some type of wearable health device to see how lifestyle factors impact overall wellness. Connectivity is easier than ever, and with new technology, you can now stay connected to the data from your own body!
One way to do this is with a wearable CGM device, or continuous glucose monitor—a small sensor that measures your blood sugar levels.
You can apply this biosensor to the back of your arm, and view your glucose data in real time to learn more about its impact on your body and wellness goals.
With its real-time view into how your diet and lifestyle impact your glucose levels, a CGM helps you get valuable wellness insights from your body's data.
From food choices to sleep quality and activity levels to daily stress, many lifestyle factors can affect blood sugar levels. Tracking the trends and patterns in your data helps you understand more about the impact of these lifestyle factors on your glucose and overall wellness.
Luckily, there are apps like the Nutrisense app that help you track these deeper insights. Connecting wearable devices and biosensors (like a CGM), to the Nutrisense app allows you to have all your body’s data in one place.
You can use your body’s data to improve your well-being by connecting these wearable devices with the Nutrisense app:
Syncing your CGM and smartwatch data in one place can help paint a bigger picture of your overall well-being.
Measuring Blood Sugar
With a Smartwatch
Connecting your smartwatch to your phone allows you to track everything from your sleep quality to heart rate to exercise levels. While it’s not technically possible to measure blood sugar on a smartwatch yet, pairing wearables such as a CGM and a smartwatch together can help paint a bigger picture of your overall well-being.
When you join the Nutrisense program, you’ll gain access to the Nutrisense app. It helps you easily collect and view your blood sugar data, so you can observe trends based on your daily activities.
As a smartwatch wearer, you can also pair your smart devices to the app and sync your exercise, sleep, and other daily activities into the app’s dashboard. With all this information in one place, you can begin to uncover and learn more about the lifestyle habits that may influence your blood sugar levels.
This makes it easier to work towards tweaking your diet, maintaining an ideal weight, sleeping better, and building sustainable, long-term habits for better wellness.
CGM & Apple Watch
If you’re an Apple watch user, you can connect your watch to the Nutrisense app to Apple Health Kit and sync information about your sleep, exercise, heart rate, weight, and other metrics into the Nutrisense app.

- Open the Nutrisense app
- Go into Settings > Integrations
