When should I start my CGM and Food Tracking?
You should begin your 7 days of food tracking (and CGM if recommended) once your CGM device arrives at your home.
How the process works
During your Onboarding Consult, your Everlab doctor will request a CGM if it’s recommended for you.
You’ll then complete a CGM consent task in the app.
Once we receive your consent, our Operations team will order and ship the CGM directly to your home.
When your CGM arrives, you’ll follow the setup instructions provided in your app timeline task, which will guide you to:
Download the app
Apply and sync your CGM
Start your WhatsApp food tracking
Once you mark your CGM as “received,” you’ll be able to book your Nutrition Review — this step will automatically unlock in the Everlab app.
Important note about DEXA scans
If you have a DEXA scan booked, please wait until after the scan before applying your CGM. The device can interfere with scan accuracy.
If your DEXA scan is already complete: Apply your CGM and start tracking right away.
If your DEXA scan is still upcoming: Hold off on applying your CGM until the scan is done, then begin your 7-day tracking period.
Why combine food tracking with CGM?
Pairing your food tracking with CGM data (if used) gives your Care Team deeper insight into your metabolic health. This combination helps us deliver more precise, personalised nutrition advice during your review.
