Continuous Glucose Monitor

Meaning

A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is an advanced medical device that provides real-time, dynamic measurement of glucose concentrations in the interstitial fluid, offering a comprehensive view of glycemic trends. This technology eliminates the need for frequent fingerstick blood glucose testing by continuously tracking fluctuations in glucose levels throughout the day and night. It serves as a powerful tool for understanding an individual’s unique metabolic response to food, exercise, and stress.
