How Does Continuous Glucose Monitoring Work?
Continuous glucose monitoring, or popularly known as CGM, is a way to track your glucose levels digitally. A small sensor is attached to your body which pulls your glucose levels and wirelessly transmits your glucose levels to a reader or smart device.
FAQ
Will it make my life easier?
Having diabetes is always going to be hard. It is the name of the game. Continuous glucose monitors really do make life much easier. We’ve seen people who have switched jobs just so they could get their GCMs covered by their insurance. Medicare is now making it easier than ever to get approvals. Why? Lancets and testers are not inexpensive either, and it really does provide a higher quality of life when used correctly. If your glucose levels are kept on a tighter leash, you’ll be healthier over the course of your life. Not to mention, less stressed!
