Signos

If you have prediabetes like me and need something to help you understand your numbers in relation to what your eating and your activity level this is for you! My hemoglobin A1c was in normal range but I was exhausted all of the time, having difficulty feeling motivated, anxious and depressed. I was checking my sugars on a meter and noted that they were elevated after eating and my fasting glucose was starting to become elevated. I needed to change something and the CGM was incredibly helpful to change my eating habits and activity level. The activities on the app were very helpful with starting the journey and it predicts if you will have a spike and encourage activity. I lost 15 lbs after doing it for 3 months and got my BMI into the “normal” range in which it hasn’t been for 10 years. I took a break from the CGM and was able to keep the weight off with the things that I learned over 6 months. I am now using it again to keep the motivation rolling through the winter and have never felt better. My fasting glucoses are now in the 80’s and out of prediabetic range!! Buying this app and CGM is way cheaper than paying for the treatment of diabetes or a GLP-1 that you can never stop taking once you start it. Not to mention preventing the long term complications of diabetes!

TLDR - Outstanding data and training but does NOT send information to Apple Heath. I’ve enjoyed the first few weeks of utilizing the product. It offers me exactly what I was looking for with insight into my glucose levels, how my activity impacts my health, and how my eating habits influence my levels. There’s a series of several training modules to introduce you to the app's features and how to utilize best the information provided. The information is provided clearly with an easy glance at the data you’re looking for. I recognize that there is good integration with the Apple Watch if you want to look at your levels without pulling out your phone. Overall, the data and training on the app are very good for someone who wants to know their glucose levels to improve their health. However, there is one glaring feature that I cannot understand why it was not implemented and designed into the original app, and that is the integration of sending the data to Apple Health for all your health information to be in one area. I can verify it does read information from Apple Health and bring it forward, such as height and weight and other various metrics to utilize and give you insight on your health as it impacts your glucose. Still, it does not send information to Apple Health. It is because of this lack of forethought in the app that I’ve only given it three stars: excellent product but poor execution, IMHO.

Good morning - this post I truly want it to be an inspiration to all of us . Let me start by saying this . Don't be too hard on yourself. There are plenty of people willing to do that for you. Love yourself and be proud of everything that you do. Even mistakes mean you're trying. 18 more lbs to go . I started my health journey Aug 15 this year and when I decided I want to be healthy I read so many books , watch pod cast. Incorporated clean healthy keto and intermittent fasting . From 177lbs Aug 14 and today I am 143 lbs . I have 18 lbs to go to achieve my weight goal . It was never easy . There are times I failed on my fasting , there are times I gained a little but I continued on and just forgave myself for any failure comes my way and started over again. I did power walk and running , Pilates and strength straining and here I am today . One thing I did constant is I celebrated all the little success I had every step of the way . The failed attempts I did not dwell on and just moved forward . I hope this can inspire you guys that with the power tools , positive thinking and determination we all can achieve our goals . Nothing is ever easy or fast - instead focus on small success each time and enjoy your journey. Having my CGM Signos help me plan my health that lead to success I used Signos to make better choices with my food , I made sure I was getting enough sleep and managed my stress which all affects our blood sugar
