A practical guide to CGMs in athletic training

Hunter Allen’s guide introduces continuous glucose monitors and considers how athletes might use glucose readings when planning training and competition. It connects the technology to practical questions about when to eat, how much to eat, which foods to use before exertion, and how to notice patterns in glucose readings. Cycling, racing, swimming, and other activities are named as contexts for its advice. The book also lays out step-by-step guidance for using a CGM, making the device itself—not just athletic performance—the focus. Its recommendations are presented as ways to inform an athlete’s approach to nutrition and training.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Athletes interested in using continuous glucose monitor data in training or competition
  • Endurance athletes and casual exercisers exploring nutrition timing and food choices
  • Cyclists, racers, and swimmers seeking a step-by-step introduction to CGMs
