Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) constantly measures a person’s blood sugar levels. It helps you and your doctor decide how to manage your diabetes.

CGM is most helpful for people who take insulin shots more than once a day or use an insulin pump. It’s less useful for people who don’t take insulin regularly, so most people with type 2 diabetes don’t use it.

CGM uses a sensor that is placed under the skin, usually on your arm or the stomach area. This sensor measures your blood sugar and sends the data to a smartphone or an insulin pump.

You and your doctor can use this information to make informed decisions about your diabetes care plan.

 

Use CGM to keep constant track! It’ll help your glucose from getting out of whack.
