Blood Testing
Duration
15 min
A 14-day continuous glucose monitoring programme using a CGM sensor applied to the upper arm. The device records blood sugar levels around the clock, capturing post-meal spikes, exercise effects, nocturnal dips, and stress-related patterns that a single lab measurement cannot detect. Includes physician analysis of the complete glucose dataset and personalised dietary guidance.
Standard blood tests measure glucose at a single point in time -- typically after an overnight fast. While useful for diagnosing diabetes, a fasting value tells you almost nothing about how your body handles the meals, snacks, and physical activity that make up the other 23 hours of your day. The CGM sensor bridges that gap by sampling interstitial glucose every few minutes for two full weeks, generating thousands of data points that reveal your individual metabolic patterns. During the first appointment (approximately 15 minutes at any of the four Munich locations), the sensor is placed painlessly on the upper arm. It pairs with a smartphone app, giving you real-time visibility into your glucose levels as you eat, exercise, work, and sleep. Over the 14-day monitoring period, you build an intuitive understanding of which meals cause sharp spikes, which combinations keep glucose stable, and how physical activity and sleep quality influence your metabolic response. The follow-up consultation reviews the full dataset with a physician. Rather than generic nutritional advice, the recommendations are grounded in your own data -- specific foods, meal timing, and activity patterns that demonstrably improve your glucose control. This service is particularly relevant for anyone with a family history of type 2 diabetes, people experiencing post-meal energy crashes, or health-optimisers who want to personalise their nutrition based on metabolic evidence rather than population averages.
