Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
A modern diabetes monitoring technology that tracks glucose levels continuously throughout the day and night using a wearable sensor.
Book CGM TestWhat is Continuous Glucose Monitoring?
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is an advanced diabetes monitoring system that measures glucose levels in the body continuously using a small wearable sensor placed on the arm or abdomen.
Unlike traditional finger-prick testing, CGM devices provide real-time glucose readings throughout the day and night, allowing patients and doctors to monitor blood sugar trends more effectively.
How CGM Works
Sensor and Transmitter
A small disposable sensor inserted under the skin measures glucose levels every few minutes.
Real-Time Data
The system sends glucose readings to a receiver or smartphone app, allowing users to track trends.
Alerts and Notifications
The device alerts users when glucose levels become too high or too low.
24/7 Monitoring
Continuous tracking helps detect glucose fluctuations throughout the day and night.
Benefits of Continuous Glucose Monitoring
CGM technology provides a clearer picture of how blood sugar levels change in response to food, physical activity, medications, and daily routines.
The system reduces the need for frequent finger-prick blood tests and allows more precise diabetes management.
Real-time alerts help prevent dangerous episodes of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Components of a CGM System
Wearable Sensor
Placed on the back of the arm or abdomen to measure glucose levels.
Transmitter
Sends glucose data from the sensor to a receiver or smartphone.
Display Device
A receiver or mobile app that displays glucose readings and trends.
Sensor Replacement
Sensors typically last between 7 and 14 days depending on the device.
Who Should Use CGM?
Continuous Glucose Monitoring is especially beneficial for individuals with Type 1 diabetes and those with Type 2 diabetes who require insulin therapy.
It is also useful for patients who experience frequent low blood sugar episodes or difficulty controlling glucose levels.
CGM data can be shared with healthcare providers to help adjust treatment plans and improve long-term diabetes management.
Manage Diabetes with Advanced Glucose Monitoring
Continuous glucose monitoring helps improve diabetes control and reduces the risk of complications.
