Continuous Glucose Monitor

A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a device that provides real-time readings of glucose levels in the body, typically through a small sensor inserted under the skin. It offers a more dynamic and comprehensive view of blood sugar trends over time, as opposed to the snapshot provided by traditional finger-prick tests. CGMs are particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as they can help in managing blood sugar levels more effectively by alerting users to fluctuations that could lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Beyond diabetes management, CGMs are gaining attention for their potential in lifestyle and dietary modifications, helping users understand how their body responds to different foods, activities, and stress levels. This technology empowers individuals with critical information for making informed health and wellness decisions, ultimately contributing to improved metabolic health and overall well-being.
