What is CGM?
CGM systems are devices that continuously monitor a person’s glucose levels and provide real-time access to glucose information and alerts. A small sensor wire is inserted under the skin, which monitors interstitial glucose levels.
BENEFITS OF CGM
CGM provides several benefits, including:
- More frequent access to glucose insights, leading to more effective glucose management
- Ability to see glucose levels in real-time, including historic and current values and the rate of glucose change
- Prevention of acute complications such as hypo- and hyperglycemia
- Treatment planning and guidance for diabetes healthcare professionals
