This observation has sparked significant interest in whether ‘glucose dysregulation’, characterised by both high variability (a known cardiovascular risk factor) and excursions (‘spikes’) above normal levels (e.g., 7.8 mmol/L or 140 mg/dL), could be actually causing many long-term diseases.

CGM monitoring should be considered in all patients affected by heart disease, in order to define glucotype and current glucose profile- both easily treated if 'unhealthy' .

This suggests that there are some challenges in the body’s processing of carbohydrates. Although these individuals are not formally classified as ‘diabetic’ or ‘prediabetic’ by current standards, research indicates that this degree of glucose dysregulation may increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and, over time, glucose spikes may contribute to an increase in inflammation in key organs such as the heart and brain. Therefore, it makes sense to implement lifestyle and dietary changes to improve glucose control.
