Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a system used to track blood glucose (sugar) levels continuously throughout the day and night. It is primarily used by individuals with diabetes to help manage their condition. CGM provides real-time data on glucose fluctuations, allowing users to adjust insulin, food, and activity to maintain better blood sugar control and prevent dangerous spikes or drops in glucose levels. The system includes a sensor, transmitter, and display device, offering insights into glucose trends and alerts for high or low levels, which improves overall diabetes management.

Treatment For Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a valuable tool in managing diabetes by providing real-time glucose data, enabling more effective treatment decisions. CGM helps individuals adjust insulin therapy, ensuring proper basal and bolus doses based on continuous feedback, and can be integrated with insulin pumps for automated insulin delivery in closed-loop systems. It also helps prevent hypoglycemia by offering early alerts when glucose levels drop, allowing for timely interventions. For hyperglycemia, CGM helps identify rising glucose levels, enabling quick adjustments to insulin or meal planning. Additionally, CGM data provides insights into the effects of diet, exercise, and stress on glucose levels, guiding personalized lifestyle changes. This continuous data stream enhances long-term glycemic control and helps improve A1C levels while reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. CGM also aids in managing gestational diabetes and offers convenience by reducing the need for frequent fingerstick tests, ultimately improving quality of life.

Working of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

 plays a significant role in managing blood glucose levels for patients undergoing surgery, especially those with diabetes. Prior to surgery, CGM provides real-time glucose data that helps healthcare providers optimize insulin therapy, ensuring glucose levels are stable and within a safe range. Proper preoperative glucose control reduces the risk of surgical complications, such as infections and poor wound healing.

During the surgery, CGM allows for continuous monitoring of glucose levels, alerting the medical team to any sudden changes, such as hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. This allows for prompt adjustments to insulin or glucose infusions, reducing the risk of complications. In some advanced settings, CGM can be integrated with insulin pumps to create a closed-loop system, offering automatic insulin delivery adjustments during the procedure.
