CGM Technology

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology is a method used to track glucose levels in real-time for individuals, particularly those with diabetes. A small sensor is placed under the skin, typically on the abdomen or arm, which measures glucose in the interstitial fluid. This data is transmitted wirelessly to a receiver or smartphone, allowing users to see their glucose levels continuously. CGMs can alert users to high or low blood sugar levels, helping them make informed decisions about diet, medication, and lifestyle. This technology enhances diabetes management by providing greater insight into glucose patterns over time.
