Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a technology used primarily by people with diabetes to track their blood sugar levels in real time. A small sensor is placed under the skin, usually on the abdomen or arm, to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. This sensor relays data to a device or smartphone, allowing users to see their glucose levels continuously throughout the day and night. CGMs help individuals better manage their diabetes by providing insights into how diet, activity, and insulin affect their blood sugar, leading to more informed decisions about their health.
