Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems are devices that track blood sugar levels in real-time throughout the day and night. They consist of a tiny sensor placed under the skin, which measures glucose levels in the fluid between cells. This sensor transmits data to a display device, like a smartphone or a dedicated monitor, allowing for ongoing insight into blood sugar trends. CGMs help people with diabetes make informed decisions about their diet, activity, and medication by providing immediate feedback, reducing the need for fingerstick tests, and helping prevent complications from abnormal blood sugar levels.
