Continuous Glucose Monitoring

  • December 21, 2020

Throughout the day and night, continuous glucose monitoring continuously monitors blood glucose levels, also called blood sugar. At a glance, you can see the glucose level at any moment. To see patterns, you can also review how the glucose shifts over a few hours or days. Watching real-time glucose levels will help you make more informed choices about how to handle your diet, physical activity, and medications during the day. A CGM operates, usually on your abdomen or arm, via a small sensor implanted under your skin. Your interstitial glucose level, the glucose present in the fluid between the tissues, is determined by the sensor. Every few minutes, the sensor measures glucose. A transmission transfers the information to monitor wireless communication.
