Glucose information across the day
Continuous glucose monitoring uses a wearable sensor to estimate glucose repeatedly, building a record over time. Rather than showing only one isolated measurement, it can reveal a pattern across everyday routines. A CGM is a monitoring tool used alongside a diabetes care plan; it does not replace clinical care.
Three parts, one flow of information
- A sensor measures glucose in the fluid between cells under the skin.
- A transmitter sends sensor information wirelessly. It may be integrated into the sensor or be a separate component.
- A compatible display, such as an app or receiver, presents the information. Available displays and functions depend on the system.
CGM systems are not all the same
Some systems display readings automatically, while others require scanning or are worn temporarily for later professional review. Replacement intervals, calibration, warm-up and software features vary. A healthcare professional can help determine whether CGM is appropriate and which type fits your care needs.
Begin with the questions that matter to you
- What would I like to understand better: overnight readings, meal patterns, activity or another concern?
- Who will help me learn the device and review the information?
- What supplies should I keep available if a sensor stops working?
- Which features are essential for my daily routine?
- Which product documents should I read before deciding?
