Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Meaning

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a clinical technology involving a small, wearable sensor that automatically tracks and records interstitial glucose concentrations throughout the day and night. This system provides a dynamic, high-resolution view of an individual’s glycemic response to food intake, physical activity, sleep, and stress, moving beyond single-point blood glucose measurements. It is a powerful tool for understanding metabolic health, guiding personalized dietary adjustments, and managing conditions like pre-diabetes and diabetes. The data derived offers crucial insight into insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance.
