Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
CGM is a glucose monitoring system that measures your glucose readings continuously. It is used in diabetes management to identify the trends of your blood glucose levels.
A CGM is composed of a glucose sensor that is inserted under the skin, a transmitter, and a receiver device that reads your glucose readings. This can be a separate reader or a smartphone.
