Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) Technology

Overview

CGMS is a device used to track levels of glucose in the interstitial fluid throughout the day, offering real-time data and trends. This helps individuals with diabetes regulate their blood sugar levels more efficiently.

CGMS includes:

  • A sensor that is inserted under the skin
  • A transmitter
  • A receiver or smartphone app for displaying data

  • Better glucose control
  • Reduced hypoglycaemia risk
  • Improved quality of life.

CGMS can alert users to high or low blood sugar levels, providing timely interventions. Regular use and proper calibration are important for getting accurate readings. CGMS is a valuable tool for diabetes management, particularly for those using insulin therapy.
