Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study (CGMS)

A Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study (CGMS) involves using a small device implanted or worn on the body to continuously measure blood sugar levels over time. This device detects glucose levels in the interstitial fluid (the fluid between cells) and sends real-time data to a monitor or smartphone. The study aims to understand how blood sugar varies during daily activities, sleep, or treatment changes. CGMS provides detailed, dynamic insights that help researchers evaluate diabetes management strategies, improve treatment, and prevent complications by offering a comprehensive view of glucose patterns beyond traditional finger-prick testing.
