About Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
A CGM system provides continuous, real-time trend information about glucose levels for people with diabetes. It allows for appropriate intervention (after verifying with a blood fingerstick test) to mitigate hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), maximizing the patient's time in the optimal glucose target range. To use a CGM system, the person with diabetes inserts a tiny sensor beneath the skin, typically in the abdomen. The sensor, which measures glucose levels from the fluid under the skin, is attached to a transmitter that sends readings to a wearable monitor or the insulin pump every five minutes. Alerts and alarms can be customized to notify patients up to 30 minutes before they reach personal preset low or high sensor glucose limits. CGM provides a more complete picture because it reveals high and low glucose levels that periodic blood fingerstick testing might miss.
