<p>A system and a method for monitoring individual metabolic response and for generating nutritional feedback involve monitoring of glycemic response in a qualified subject. A plurality of measurements of the glucose level in the qualified subject are consecutively performed by a measuring device (100). In the measuring device (100) first data corresponding to the measured glucose level is generated. Subsequently, the data is transmitted to an analysis device (200), where second data is generated from a time-series of glucose level measurements represented by the first data. In a next step, the second data is compared with a predetermined individual glycemic response budget for the qualified subject, the individual glycemic response budget representing a total amount of individual glycemic response allowable for a certain time period. Finally, feedback corresponding to the result of the comparison is provided by an output device (200). Continuously monitoring the glucose level of qualified subjects can provide highly personalized information about the effects of diet, physical activity, and nutrition by revealing an individual's glycemic response to ingested food and beverages. The inventive method and system are therefore valuable tools for supporting weight management, nutritional counseling, and preventive medicine.</p> |
