Several years in the making by our team at Abbott, Lingo CGM is now available in the US. Lingo helps you detect post-meal glucose spikes and determine what foods work best to support your metabolic health hellolingo.com
At the Health Optimisation Summit, I presented on the impact of glucose in metabolic health. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. What points particularly resonate? What areas need strengthening? I work for Abbott and discuss our Lingo product.

"I realized a little while ago...I didn't want to die."
Tom is thriving after ~18 months on Virta—down 55 pounds and his A1c has dropped by 2+ points. He's feeling better than ever + excited to watch his kids grow up, and even go skydiving one day!

Virta CEO @samiinkinen shares his secret to success—stick to the 'boring' stuff.

In 2021 we published our data showing low carb diets can help kidney function here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3446… now @virtahealth agree HURRAH !! – at North West, England
HUGE NEWS!🗞️Kidney function ⏫improved at two years for patients on Virta compared to 🔽 decline over time in diabetes with usual care.
Virta’s latest research—presented last weekend @ ADA’s 83rd Scientific Sessions.

Prior to the development of diabetes or even pre-diabetes, large glucose spikes in response to meals can indicate underlying insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia.

Glucose response to meals is an important health marker even in a non-diabetes population. My colleagues and I have a new paper in Metabolism reviewing the literature on this important topic.

Another year, another successful ADA Scientific Sessions!
Recap of Virta's research—on kidney function, sleep, cardiometabolic health and diabetes outcomes for underserved groups—presented at #ADA2023 here: virtahealth.com/blog/new-res…

Our newest research out of #ADA2023 shows how Virta is narrowing disparities in T2D care and outcomes. Across the most and least advantaged areas in the US, members are achieving better health (lower A1c, weight loss, & deprescription of Rxs like insulin). virtahealth.com/blog/new-dat…

About 1 in 3 people with T2D has chronic kidney disease. New research from #ADA2023 shows Virta’s approach improves kidney function + may slow (or even reverse) progression of this nefarious disease. virtahealth.com/blog/virtas-…

New research from the Lancet predicts 1.3B+ will have diabetes by 2050, yet GLP-1s aren't the answer.
“The excitement & utility surrounding GLP-1 agonists...is understandable....[but] the solution to unhealthy and unfair societies is not more pills." bit.ly/46jKYvm
