Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS)

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS) are devices that track blood sugar levels in real-time throughout the day and night. They consist of a small sensor inserted under the skin, which measures glucose levels in the fluid between cells. The sensor sends data wirelessly to a display device or smartphone, providing ongoing insights into glucose trends. This helps people with diabetes better manage their condition by identifying patterns, avoiding highs and lows, and making informed decisions about diet, activity, and medication. CGMS offers a more detailed and dynamic understanding of blood sugar fluctuations compared to traditional finger-stick testing.
