Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Device work by using a tiny sensor that is inserted into the skin, usually on the abdomen or upper arm. The sensor measures the glucose levels in the interstitial fluid, which is a good approximation of the glucose levels in the blood. The sensor records a glucose reading every few minutes and sends the data wirelessly to a transmitter. The transmitter is usually attached to the sensor with adhesive and can be worn on the body or attached to clothing.
The transmitter sends the glucose data to a receiver or a smartphone app, where the user can see their glucose levels in real-time. The user can set alerts for when their glucose levels go too high or too low. These alerts can be set to vibrate or sound an alarm, allowing the user to take action to prevent a hypo or hyperglycemic episode.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Devices use advanced algorithms to provide users with valuable insights into their glucose levels. The algorithms can predict the user's glucose levels based on their past readings and provide advice on insulin dosing, diet, and exercise to help the user manage their diabetes better.
