Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)

A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a medical device used primarily by people with diabetes to track their blood sugar levels in real-time. It consists of a small sensor inserted under the skin, which measures glucose levels in the fluid between cells. The device transmits data to a monitor or smartphone app, allowing users to see their glucose trends throughout the day and notice patterns related to food, exercise, and medication. This information helps manage diabetes more effectively by providing insights into how lifestyle choices impact glucose levels, ultimately aiming to improve overall health and prevent complications.
