Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)
What is a CGM?
- CGM is sensor based technology that measures glucose from the interstitial fluid.
- Takes glucose measurements at regular intervals, 24 hours a day.
- Live data helps users make treatment decisions.
- Users can share detailed data and trends with their healthcare team without writing anything down.
How do you use a CGM monitor?
- A sensor is worn on the outside of the body; the sensor filament is inserted under the skin to check glucose levels in the tissue fluid.
- The sensor is connected to a transmitter wirelessly and sends information to a display device or cell phone wirelessly.
CGM vs. Blood Glucose Meter
- Readings from a Blood Glucose Meter are just one point in time.
- CGM’s provide continuous monitoring which allows users to proactively manage highs and lows.
- CGM technology does NOT require fingersticks!
