Continuous Glucose Monitors

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are devices that track blood sugar levels in real-time, typically used by people with diabetes. They consist of a small sensor inserted under the skin that measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. The sensor sends data to a display device, allowing users to see their glucose levels continuously throughout the day and night. This helps them manage their condition more effectively by identifying trends and avoiding extremes in blood sugar levels. CGMs can improve diabetes management, enhance quality of life, and reduce the risk of complications.
