Why Balancing Blood Sugar Is Essential For Successful Embryo Implantation

Have you noticed terms like "glucose spike" and "blood glucose imbalance" popping up everywhere? It's no surprise, given how our modern diet and lifestyle have impacted our blood sugar levels. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Theia, a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) that tracks your glucose levels 24/7. Theia is a tiny, discreet device worn on your arm, providing information on how foods, sleep, and lifestyle choices affect your glucose—and your overall health.


CGMs are invaluable not only for those with diabetes or prediabetes but also for anyone looking to maintain optimal health, especially those on a fertility journey. Blood sugar imbalances can significantly impact reproductive health. In women, they can lead to low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and pregnancy complications. In men, metabolic syndrome can lower testosterone levels, impair sperm development, reduce sperm concentration and motility, and increase sperm DNA damage.


By effectively managing your glucose levels with Theia, you gain the insights needed to make informed choices about your diet and lifestyle. Understanding how your body responds to various foods and activities can be a game-changer for early intervention and prevention. This proactive approach not only boosts your overall health but also enhances your chances of a successful fertility journey.
