Continuous Glucose Monitoring(CGM) offers people with diabetes the opportunity to see their glucose levels in real time, on an ongoing basis.
Monitoring
Benefits of a continuous glucose monitoring system
Continuous glucose monitoring has many benefits, such as identifying trends in the change in blood glucose seen with exercise or the food you eat.
Glucose control – let’s talk about it!
First of all, how important is your glucose control early in your diabetes? The short answer is very. Is it easy? Not really.
Self-monitoring your blood pressure
High blood pressure – also called hypertension – increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. It’s important to keep blood pressure within diabetes management targets.
What are the recommended blood sugar targets for people with diabetes?
Keeping your blood sugar levels in their target ranges is very important. When blood sugar levels drop too low, this results in hypoglycemia, which can make you feel light-headed, nauseous and unable to concentrate.
We’ve come a long way in blood glucose monitoring
Having diabetes often means checking your blood glucose daily—sometime multiple times—which can be a hassle. But advances in blood glucose monitoring are helping make the process not only easier and more efficient, but pretty remarkable too.
