CGM will help you not to be at the mercy of diabetes

The most global public health problem worldwide is the rapid increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus. 

Effective glycemic control can reduce the risk of complications or prevent them in people with diabetes. 

Continuous blood glucose monitoring (CGM) systems enable enhanced management for people with this disease. 

Assessment of data accuracy. 

When data are acquired continuously at the same intervals, their analysis is most reliable. 

Occasional measurements with prolonged lapses impair the quality of health assessment for a person with diabetes mellitus.  

Target metrics. 

Various factors, such as lifestyle, individual characteristics and exercising, influence the timing of being within the target range. 

CGM systems provide a graph of changes 24 hours a day regardless of time, place or activity of a person. 

Glycemic monitoring. 

With continuous monitoring it is possible to trace the risk of hypoglycemia, preventing it by adjusting therapy and lifestyle in general. 

Glucose variability. 

CGM flash systems help to evaluate the efficiency of insulin medication by tracking the glucose level variability throughout the day and from day to day.  

Stable readings. 

The graph obtained by CGM systems shows the exact values of glucose levels per hour (mmol/L), which helps to assess the stability of the condition. 

 

Evaluation of all these values helps to analyze the condition of the body and show the speed and direction of blood glucose changes in a continuous mode, which contributes to the selection and adjustment of therapy, medications and lifestyle of a person with diabetes mellitus.
