continuous glucose monitors (CGM)

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are devices that track your blood sugar levels in real time. They consist of a small sensor inserted under the skin, typically on the abdomen or arm, which measures glucose levels in the fluid just beneath the skin. The sensor transmits data wirelessly to a receiver or smartphone, allowing you to see your glucose trends throughout the day and night. CGMs help people with diabetes manage their condition more effectively by providing immediate feedback, reducing the need for finger-prick blood tests, and alerting users to high or low glucose levels to prevent complications.
