CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) systems

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems are medical devices that provide real-time data on blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. They consist of a small sensor inserted under the skin, which measures glucose levels in body fluids, and a transmitter that sends this information to a display device such as a smartphone or dedicated monitor. CGMs help individuals, especially those with diabetes, track their glucose trends, detect highs and lows early, and make more informed management decisions. This technology enhances glycemic control and reduces the need for frequent fingerstick blood tests.
