Plain English summary
Everything on Glucose Decoded is for general information and education. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it is not a treatment plan. Reading this site does not create a clinician-patient relationship between you and the authors or publisher. Always talk to your healthcare provider before making any change to your medications, supplements, diet, exercise, or monitoring habits.
1. Educational use only
The content on this website is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be, and should not be relied on as, a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The information here is not personalized to your specific medical situation, and it cannot account for the full picture that your healthcare provider can see.
2. No clinician-patient relationship
Using this website, reading its articles, contacting us, or subscribing to our newsletter does not create a physician-patient, dietitian-client, or other clinical relationship between you and Nouri Zad Enterprises Inc, the authors, or any contributor. We are publishers, not your clinicians.
3. Always consult your healthcare provider
Always seek the guidance of your physician or other qualified healthcare professional with any question you may have regarding your health, a medical condition, a medication, a supplement, a monitoring device, or a proposed change to your routine. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this site.
If you think you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately or visit the nearest emergency room.
4. OTC glucose biosensors: intended population
This site discusses over-the-counter (OTC) continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. As of the date of this disclaimer, OTC CGMs available in the United States are intended for use by adults 18 years of age or older who are not on insulin therapy. They are not intended for:
- People who use insulin (including basal-only insulin regimens)
- People under 18 years of age
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Anyone diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
- Anyone using the device to make insulin dosing decisions
If you fall into any of those groups, please use a medical-grade CGM under the supervision of your healthcare team rather than an OTC device.
5. Supplement statements
Statements about dietary supplements on this site have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Supplements can interact with prescription medications. Always discuss any new supplement with your prescriber and pharmacist before starting it, especially if you have a chronic condition, take prescription drugs, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have liver or kidney disease.
