Blood Sugar Isn’t Just for People with Diabetes—It’s the New Training Metric
Why Blood Sugar Should Be Your Clients’ Most Important Metric
When you think about training metrics, you probably think of heart rate zones, VO₂ max, calories burned, or time under tension. But one metric trumps them all, and most coaches aren’t using it yet: blood glucose.
Traditionally, blood glucose tracking was considered only for those with Diabetes. But thanks to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), fitness professionals now have access to data points that reveal the real-time inner workings of their clients’ physiology. And it’s changing the game.
The Limitations of Traditional Metrics
Heart rate, calories, and other conventional metrics only show part of the picture: how hard your clients work on the outside. But they miss what’s happening inside the body.
Here’s why that matters:
Two clients can do the same workout, eat the same meal, and show different glucose responses.
These hidden fluctuations can derail energy, recovery, and fat loss.
Without understanding glucose, coaches risk unintentionally programming workouts that spike stress hormones and blood sugar beyond optimal levels.
What CGM Reveals That Other Metrics Can’t
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) uses a small sensor on the back of the arm or abdomen to measure glucose levels 24/7.
This metric goes beyond the surface and shows how:
Workouts impact blood sugar in real time.
Pre- and post-workout meals affect energy availability and recovery.
Stress and poor sleep disrupt glucose stability.
For coaches, this is a goldmine of actionable data.
How CGM Elevates Your Coaching
Personalize Training Like Never Before
Identify when clients are primed for high-intensity work versus when they need active recovery.
Dial In Nutrition for Performance and Fat Loss
Match meals to training phases and avoid the spike-crash cycle that undermines consistency.
Track Stress and Recovery Beyond HRV
Elevated overnight glucose can signal poor recovery, even before your client feels it.
Why This Matters for Every Client, Not Just Athletes
Most fitness professionals believe blood sugar only matters for those managing Diabetes. But here’s the truth:
Energy dips, stubborn fat loss, poor recovery, and chronic stress are all linked to glucose instability.
Every day, clients face these issues, and CGM shows you why.
Understanding and leveraging this CGM fitness metric will help clients break through plateaus, stay consistent, and achieve lasting results.
