Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring System

With the CGM system, diabetics are already a big step closer to the dream of measuring blood sugar levels without stinging or pricking finger

CGM is short for Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring System, a system that has only been on the market for a few years. The device automatically monitors the blood sugar level around the clock. The system warns the wearer with a loud signal as soon as the blood sugar level changes dangerously, for example if the blood sugar level is too low. This gives the diabetic enough time to take appropriate countermeasures.

The blood glucose meter consists of a transmitter and a reader. Place the sensor on your stomach or upper arm, pushing it a few centimetres into the skin. The sensor then continuously sends the data to the receiving device.

Depending on the model, you have to replace the sensor approximately every seven days. The effort is limited, with a little practice you need only a few minutes. The costs, however, are relatively high.

You have to calibrate the Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring System twice a day, i.e. approximately every 12 hours, and for this you need the exact blood values Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring System is providing accurate value of blood sugar level so that patients can measure their blood test easily with this device
