Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems (CGM Systems) have become more widely used in order to keep diabetes under better control, to intervene in the rise and fall in sugar during the day, and to minimize fluctuations in sugar.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems help you manage diabetes by measuring glucose throughout the day and night. A sensor placed just under your skin measures your glucose level every 3 minutes, 24 hours a day. With continuous glucose monitoring systems, you can detect hypo/hyperglycemia events early and intervene, and you can create your own diet by observing how much the foods you consume affect your blood sugar. You can also see the effects of exercise on your blood sugar, and also determine the duration and intensity of your exercise. The blood glucose analysis results provided by the system also allow the doctor to direct the diabetes treatment.
ARE CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEMS EASY TO USE?
Continuous glucose monitoring devices are easy and practical to use. It consists of a sensor placed under the skin with the help of an applicator and a transmitter that transfers the blood glucose valuesplaced on the sensor to your smartphone. The sensor stays on your body for 14 days and since it is under your clothes, your blood glucose data will be sent to your smartphone for 3 minutes in any environment. In this way, it helps you to measure glucose and make your life with diabetes more comfortable without experiencing problems in your social life.
