CGMS (Continuous Glucose Monitoring System)

A Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) is a device that tracks blood sugar levels continuously throughout the day and night. It uses a tiny sensor inserted under the skin to measure glucose levels in the fluid between cells. The system sends this data to a display device, such as a monitor or smartphone, providing real-time updates and trends. CGMS helps individuals, especially those with diabetes, better understand how their blood sugar changes in response to food, activity, and medications. It also provides alerts for high or low glucose levels, making it a valuable tool for managing blood sugar effectively.
