Understanding AGP Reports (Heatmap Report)

Updated over a month ago

The Glucose Heatmap is a key feature of the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) report. It provides a visual summary of glucose trends throughout the day, helping identify patterns, stability, and areas for improvement in glucose management.

Main Aspects of The AGP Report

  1. Median Line

    1. What it shows: Your average glucose levels throughout the day

    2. What to look for: A relatively flat line indicates stable glucose. Spikes and dips show periods of instability.

    3. Where to find it: The single line in the chart.

  2. Range

    1. What it shows: The full range of your glucose readings (minimum to maximum values)

    2. What to look for: A narrow area indicates consistent glucose levels. A wide area suggests high variability.

    3. Where to find it: The light green area in the chart.

  3. Interquartile Range

    1. What it shows: The interquartile range (middle 50% of your readings)

    2. What to look for: This represents where most of your readings fall. A narrow area means more consistent glucose control.

    3. Where to find it: the dark green area in the chart.

The heatmap gives you a clear picture of your daily glucose patterns helping you understand:

  • When you’re most likely to spike or dip

  • Whether your glucose is more stable overnight or during the day

  • How your body typically responds to meals, exercise, or routines

You can use this information to reflect on:

  • When and what you eat

  • Whether your medication or supplements are working as expected

  • How sleep, stress, or activity might be affecting your blood sugar

  • How to make lifestyle changes that support more stable energy and health
