91������� vs. Veri

Reaching and staying at a healthy weight is a frustrating challenge for millions of Americans. The scale or calorie-counting diets were the only technology available to guide weight loss in the past, but now there are better tools for weight management that are personalized to your body.

A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) tracks your glucose levels in real-time and helps you visualize how your daily habits affect your metabolism. While CGMs have traditionally been used by people who are living with diabetes, CGMs can also be used to inform your understanding of how your body responds to the foods you eat, sleep, stress, and more. Your blood sugar levels can significantly impact how your body feels and functions. This is one of the main reasons stable blood glucose levels can be important in supporting your overall well-being.��

What’s a CGM?

A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a tiny wearable device that reads your glucose levels in real-time. It sticks to your body (usually worn on the upper arm or the stomach), and a tiny fiber monitors how much glucose you have circulating in your body at any time - without finger sticks. You keep the continuous glucose monitor on at all times, including while you sleep, when exercising, and even when you shower.

Depending on the type of CGM, the sensor can be used for 10 to 14 days before it needs to be replaced. When taking it off, just peel off the adhesive like you would peel off a band-aid.

Studies have shown that non-diabetics have larger fluctuations in their glucose levels than previously thought, and finding ways to stabilize glucose proves beneficial for health in many ways, such as:

• Weight maintenance
• Building muscle
• Creating consistent energy and mental focus throughout the day
• Optimizing fueling strategy for peak athletic performance
• Lowering and controlling inflammation
• Maintaining a high-functioning immune system
• Lowering the risk of chronic diseases

A CGM program can provide visibility into how everyday life, such as quality of sleep, getting cut off on the freeway, or enjoying a still-warm cookie, affects your glucose. This personalized blood glucose data can prove invaluable for weight loss efforts and a better quality of life.
‍
This article will compare 91������� and Veri CGM programs to review how they work, the cost, and other key features, and how you can determine which might be a better fit for you. While both these programs utilize CGMs to provide glucose data, there are significant differences in their focus and features.

What CGMs are currently available?

A CGM provides people with information about how their bodies manage blood sugar throughout the day in response to one’s daily activities. Food, sleep, exercise, hydration, and stress all impact blood sugar in specific ways, some of which are unique to the individual. Wearing a CGM provides a new way to understand how an individual’s metabolism functions.
‍
There are two main CGM manufacturers in the US: Dexcom and Abbott. For this article, we will focus on the Dexcom G7 and Abbott Freestyle Libre, which are both the most common models and the ones currently used by 91������� and Veri
‍
The Dexcom G7 has Bluetooth capabilities that ensure an individual's data is accessible in real-time (i.e., measurements are taken every 5 minutes) and sent seamlessly to a phone for easy and immediate data access.
‍
One of the biggest differences between the Dexcom G7 and the Abbott Freestyle Libre is that the Freestyle Libre requires users to actively scan the CGM with a mobile device to access data. Data can be lost if an individual does not scan the CGM frequently or during sleep cycles longer than 8 hours.

Why do I need a CGM program?

Now that you know all about CGMs, you may wonder what the value is when signing up for a CGM program like 91������� or Veri and why you shouldn’t do this alone.
‍
People wear CGMs without an accompanying CGM program, but they must do all the work to connect the dots between what they’re doing or eating and their glucose response. They also lack guidance on what to do with the data they are receiving from the CGM. A CGM program will remove all the guesswork about what action steps you should prioritize to achieve better health.

CGM manufacturer apps, like the Dexcom mobile app, have a more limited feature set focused on the needs of people living with diabetes who primarily use CGMs for glucose monitoring and insulin dosing. For example, on the Dexcom mobile app, you can view your blood glucose levels, but you cannot log your food or sleep and see how these activities directly correlate with spikes or drops in your measurements, nor can it predict what your results will be before you take a bite.

A CGM program, like 91�������, can help you understand how lifestyle choices directly influence blood glucose levels and can help you identify trends among your eating patterns, sleep cycles, and more. By focusing on small changes and better, data-driven accountability, you are more likely to reach your health goals in a sustainable way that will persist over the long term.

Overview of Veri

Veri is a health and wellness company that helps people improve their metabolic health. Their CGM program seeks to provide members with insight into their health.

Members of the Veri program will receive two Freestyle Libre 14-day CGMs a month and access to the Veri app to track their health data. To access glucose data, members must scan the CGM sensor with the Abbott LibreLink app, which syncs the results to the Veri app. Members will need to scan their sensors every eight hours so as not to lose data.

In comparison, the 91������� CGM program also offers continuous glucose monitors for all members and access to an app-based program to track data and program success. Unlike Veri, each 91������� member has in-app access to registered dieticians and customer support staff without paying an additional fee during the entire duration of the 91������� membership. This support system is critical in helping members interpret their data and create healthier, long-term habits.

An Inside Look: Veri CGM Program

People who sign up for the Veri CGM program can track their data measured by the CGM. Like other CGM programs, the Veri program allows you to track glucose levels as you eat, exercise, sleep, and go about your day.

Veri members can view a “Metabolic Healthspan” metric. This score reflects the impact of a member’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle and integrates Veri’s five evidence-based metrics: average glucose, morning fasting glucose, glucose variability, glucose oscillation, and BMI. These reports allow members to view patterns and trends over time.��

The Veri app also calculates a Meal Score and Daily Score. The Meal Score rates members' meal choices on a scale from 1 to 10, with a higher score indicating a more stable glucose response. The Daily Score considers meal scores, meal timing, fasting windows, and lifestyle factors like sleep and exercise.��

Overview of 91���������

91������� is the only company that combines a CGM with an AI-driven app to deliver real-time glucose monitoring for optimal health and weight management. Currently, 91������� is available to non-diabetic adults and people living with non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes who want to focus on weight management.
‍
When members purchase the 91������� CGM program, they will receive the Dexcom CGM and can begin tracking their daily habits, such as nutrition, activity, and sleep, in the 91������� app.

‍
Through 91�������, you can translate your unique metabolic signals into timely recommendations for eating, exercise, and better health.
‍
As members begin their 91������� journeys, they log what they eat, allowing the 91������� platform to learn each person’s glucose reaction to specific foods. Once calibrated, 91������� uses that data to provide personalized nutrition suggestions, including which foods are best for each member to eat and when to exercise to bring glucose levels back within their optimal weight loss range.
‍
Throughout the member’s subscription, they can access a registered dietitian within the app for additional nutrition guidance.
