In this episode of Nutrition Science Bites, Prof Clare Collins interviews Allison Roberts, a Credentialed Diabetes Educator and Accredited Practising Dietitian, to discuss the critical topic of blood sugar monitoring. They cover the different types of diabetes, the steps involved in blood sugar monitoring and what the blood sugar readings mean. The conversation delves into various methods of blood sugar testing including finger prick and continuous glucose monitoring, the importance of timing of measurements, target blood sugar levels, and how food choices, stress, sleep, and exercise all influence blood sugar management. They discuss the importance of understanding individual responses to food and lifestyle changes, and the role of blood glucose monitoring in providing valuable insights for diabetes management and diabetes related health.
