Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and venous plasma glucose (VPG) data for: Exploration of the correlation between glucose dynamics and energy intake in women
This presents a segment of the data collected for a glucose dip study. The dataset includes continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings and corresponding venous plasma glucose (VPG) values from a cohort of 30 healthy young women.
Project summary:
Blood glucose has been identified as a potential factor implicated in the control of appetite and eating behaviour. Several studies have investigated this suggestion but findings have been conflicting. Recent studies using modern digital devices to measure glucose (continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)) suggest the decline in glucose after a meal is associated with greater appetite feelings and food intake. The study collected some pilot data using CGMs to examine whether meal-induced reductions in glucose can be replicated in a lab environment and to explore whether glucose profiles after a meal are associated with other appetite-related outcomes.
