Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system is a device that measures glucose levels throughout the day, including while the user is sleeping. These devices can provide up to 288 glucose measurements every 24 hours. A traditional glucose monitoring test (such as testing via fingerstick) is just a snapshot in time.
Continuous glucose monitoring allows you to see what is happening between individual glucose tests, including some levels that may not have been detected.
