Understanding Blood Sugar Levels andKey Metrics
Tu interpret trends, you need a reference frame. Standard diagnostic consideraces included fasting plasma glucode (FPG), oral glucose tolerance teste (OGTT), and hemoglobinn A1c, which provides a two - to three-month average. Daily trending, hawever, relies on time- in- range (TIR) and postprandial premits.

Glycemic Variability (GV)
Wide glucose swings predict complications independently of average glucose. The coefficient of variation (CV) is a key metric: a CV below 36% indicates relativy stability; above 36% signatuls high variabality. CGM reports often included a standard deviation andCV, and advanced reports may show men amplitude of glycemic exkursions (MAGE) or continuous overall net glycemic action (CONGA).

Interpreting Advanced Patterns: Beyond Simple Spikes
Post- Meal Peak Timing
A peak at 30 minutes versus 90 minutes suggests different gastric emptying rates and meal composition. Consistent peaks at 60 minutes may indicate simple cugars; a delayed peak (120 + minutes) often results from slow w digestion due to to fat or fiber.
Rebound Hypoglycemia (Somogyi Effect)
After a low, contra-regulatory equity can cause a rebound high. If you wake wigh high fasting glucose but had a low deficted at 3 a.m., the high is likely a rebound. Treet lows appropriately without overcorrecting.

If glucose drops rapidly after a meal witch insulin, you may be using too much or timing it too early. If glucose stays elevated for hours, more bolus or earlier timing may bee needed. Usie CGM trend arrows (np., rising, falling, steady) to guidee real- time decisons.
