Overview
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) uses a small sensor worn on the body to track glucose levels in real time, throughout the day and night, without the need for frequent finger-prick testing. It gives a much fuller picture of how your glucose responds to meals, activity, sleep and medication.
Who Can Benefit
- Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics
- Patients with hypoglycemia unawareness
- Pregnant women with diabetes
- Anyone wanting detailed insight into their glucose trends
How It Works
A small sensor measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid just under the skin and sends readings to a phone or receiver. Alerts can be set to flag highs and lows, helping you and your care team respond quickly.
Getting Started
Getting started with CGM involves sensor fitting and calibration, a review of your baseline glucose patterns, and integration of the data into your overall treatment plan with Dr. Manisha.
