continuous glucose monitoring

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an advanced technology that allows individuals, particularly those with diabetes, to keep track of their glucose levels in real-time, providing significant advantages over traditional methods. This innovative approach involves the use of sensors placed on the skin that continuously measure glucose concentrations in interstitial fluid, offering precise readings and insights into blood sugar trends. The Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor offers the smallest and most discreet solution for continuous glucose monitoring yet, designed for 14-day wear. This state-of-the-art device is attached to the back of the upper arm and updates glucose levels every minute, transmitting the data directly to compatible smartphones. Its waterproof design ensures it can withstand daily activities like showering, swimming, or exercising without issue. Meanwhile, the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor also provides a reliable means of tracking glucose concentrations for up to 14 days. This compact device is user-friendly, painless to apply, and features customizable alarms to alert users of high or low glucose levels, effectively reducing the need for routine finger pricks. With continuous monitoring, both sensors empower individuals to manage their diabetes effectively, ensuring peace of mind and better health outcomes.
