A type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and is characterized by high blood sugar levels.

Glucose Curve

A graphical representation of blood glucose levels over time, where a healthy curve shows a gentle rise and return to baseline after eating, while a dysfunctional curve shows sharp spikes and crashes.

Glucose Hacks

Strategies or techniques used to manage and stabilize blood glucose levels, such as eating fiber before carbohydrates.

Glucose Variability

The fluctuations in blood glucose levels over time, with a goal to keep these fluctuations minimal to preserve hormonal health.

Glukose-Hacks

Strategies or techniques used to stabilize blood glucose levels, such as consuming fiber before carbohydrates.

Glukosekurve

A graphical representation of blood glucose levels over time, particularly after meals.

GnRH Pulse Generator

A neural mechanism that regulates the release of gonadotropinreleasing hormone, crucial for reproductive function.

HDL Cholesterol

Highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, ideally 50 mg/dL or higher for women, considered a marker of metabolic health.

Hello Inside

A strategy that combines CGM technology with expert coaching to provide personalized insights into metabolic health, helping individuals make informed lifestyle changes.

Hormonal Acne

Breakouts specifically along the jawline, often linked to hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysfunction.

Hormoneller Einfluss

The impact of hormones like estrogen and progesterone on insulin sensitivity and metabolic processes.

Hypoglycemic Crash

A condition where blood glucose levels fall below baseline after a rapid spike, often leading to symptoms like fatigue and irritability.

Insulin Resistance

A condition where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, often leading to higher blood sugar levels.

Insulin Sensitivity

The efficiency with which the body responds to insulin and processes glucose, often influenced by hormonal changes in women.

Insulin Spike

A rapid increase in insulin levels in the blood, often triggered by high glucose levels.

Large Language Models (LLMs)

AI models that are powerful but can generate physiologically dangerous advice in healthcare settings due to lack of deterministic architectural constraints.

Also known as: LLMs

Law of Attrition

A pattern where health applications lose 4060% of their user base within the first three months due to information overload and lack of personalized guidance.

Luteal Phase

The second half of the menstrual cycle dominated by progesterone, often associated with increased insulin resistance.

Menopause

A life stage characterized by low estrogen levels, leading to shifts in fat storage and decreasing insulin sensitivity.

Menstrual Cycle

A monthly cycle in women that involves the fluctuation of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, affecting insulin sensitivity and metabolic processes.

Metabolic Flexibility

The body's ability to efficiently switch between burning glucose and fat for fuel based on availability and demand.

Metabolic Health

The state where your body efficiently processes and utilizes energy from food without causing harmful spikes in blood sugar, insulin, or inflammation.

Metabolic Stress

A condition where the body's metabolic processes are disrupted, often indicated by symptoms such as cycle irregularity, hormonal acne, unstable energy, and sleep disturbances.

Metabolic Syndrome

A cluster of conditions, including increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels, that occur together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and dia

Metabolische Dysfunktion

A condition characterized by impaired metabolic processes, often leading to chronic diseases like type2 diabetes.

Metabolische Überwachung

The process of continuously monitoring metabolic markers such as glucose levels to understand individual health patterns.

Perimenopause

The transitional period before menopause when the production of reproductive hormones becomes irregular, often leading to symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

A hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age, often linked to metabolic dysfunction.

Also known as: PCOS

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is a complex hormonal and metabolic disorder affecting multiple hormonal systems, including insulin, androgens, and neuroendocrine hormones. It is characterized by insulin

Also known as: PMOS

Postprandial Dips

A sharp crash in energy and mood shortly after eating, indicating struggles in managing glucose levels effectively.

Progesterone

A female hormone that rises during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, which can increase insulin resistance.

Regulierungsziel

The objective of maintaining low glucose variability to preserve longterm hormonal health.

Risikofaktor

An attribute or exposure that increases the likelihood of developing a metabolic dysfunction, such as high fasting insulin levels.

TOFI (Thin Outside, Fat Inside)

A condition where a person appears thin but has a high level of internal visceral fat, leading to potential metabolic issues.
