Continuous glucose sensors

Continuous glucose sensors are small devices that monitor blood sugar levels continuously throughout the day and night. They work by inserting a tiny sensor under the skin, which measures glucose in the fluid between cells. The sensor sends data to a receiver or smartphone, providing real-time glucose readings and trends. This helps people with diabetes manage their condition more effectively by tracking fluctuations, avoiding hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, and making informed decisions about insulin and diet. These sensors reduce the need for frequent finger pricks and offer more detailed glucose management.
