Table 2.

Examples of the individual-level food and behavior changes participants described implementing after seeing their continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data.

ID	Food changes	Behavior changes
1	More: nonstarchy vegetables, other vegetables, and melon Less: rice	Chose overall lower carbohydrates, ate vegetables before eating other foods, chose smaller portions, chose smaller meals spaced more evenly throughout the day, stopped eating before feeling full, skipped meals, and walked frequently (sometimes as much as every hour)
2	More: roasted peanuts in a shell Less: rice (smaller portions), mini-candy bars, and candy	Chose smaller portions and added activity after meals
3	More: cottage cheese and strawberries, large salads, leafy greens, fish, nuts, vegetables, and protein foods Less: oatmeal and grapes	Chose smaller portions, delayed evening meals, ate very low carbohydrate dinners, and walked in the afternoon
4	More: vegetables and homemade nonprocessed foods Less: fast food; sweets; and chocolate kisses	None noted
5	More: salads, peanut butter, sweet potato, and cauliflower crust for pizza Less: rice, crackers, chips, bread, Italian pasta, and alcohol	Measured portions, chose smaller portions overall (eg, half as much food), chose smaller portions of carbohydrates (eg, 1 piece of bread instead of 2), skipped meals, and walked more (even if only 10 min)
6	More: whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta, and white meat Less: Soda, fruit juices, candy, and chocolate bars	None noted
7	More: none noted Less: cereal and bread	Chose smaller portions and walked more
8	More: Green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, fresh fruit, fresh whole foods, and low-sugar yogurt Less: candy, pure sugar foods, and chips	Chose smaller portions and chose lower carbohydrate options
9	More: water, black coffee, vegetables, salads, cucumbers, celery, eggs, popcorn, and protein foods Less: cereals	Chose smaller portions, reduced carbohydrate-heavy meals, delayed mealtimes, and walked after meals when glucose was high
10	More: vegetables and fruit Less: certain carbohydrates and certain types and amounts of cereals	Measured out servings, chose smaller portions (eg, half bagel instead of whole), and chose overall lower carbohydrate
11	More: no specific changes were noted; however, the participant reported confidence in using the CGM data and described examples of food experimentation Less: nothing noted	None noted
12	More: water Less: sweets	Chose smaller portions
13	More: several vegetables Less: milk	Chose smaller portions, chose overall lower carbohydrate (eg, dropped the bun), and ate a small amount of protein before bed
14	More: nonstarchy vegetables (steamer bags), cottage cheese, and protein foods Less: soda	Chose smaller portions, added more protein to meals, read food labels, and limited sweets and sugars
15	More: no changes were noted; however, the participant reported confidence in using the CGM data and reported several examples of current food choices that were reinforced because of seeing CGM data Less: cereals, pancakes, and baking with regular flour	None noted
