What does a "flat line" mean?

A flat line means that your blood glucose levels are stable, and you're doing a great job!

A consistently flat line suggests your body is maintaining steady energy balance and handling glucose efficiently. This means your insulin sensitivity is good, and your liver, pancreas, and muscles are working together effectively to regulate blood sugar.

If your glucose stays steady after meals, it suggests your food choices (and meal timing) are working for you, likely a mix of protein, fiber, and healthy fats that slow carbohydrate absorption and prevent sharp rises.

Cortisol (the stress hormone) and poor sleep can cause glucose fluctuations. A steady line often indicates your stress levels and sleep quality are in a healthy range.

Stable blood glucose often reflects that your body can switch smoothly between burning carbs and fats for fuel. This flexibility supports consistent energy levels, better focus, and fewer cravings.
