Continuous Glucose Monitors

Absolutely! Adhering to CGM usage can lead to substantial healthcare cost savings due to enhanced patient outcomes. These cost reductions result from the following health improvements:

• Decreased chances of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis
• Lowered A1C levels in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• Improved quality of life

However, it should be noted CGM therapy cost-effectiveness varies; insurance often requires insulin use or documented hypoglycemic events for coverage, applicable to type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

CGMs are beneficial for individuals with diabetes, both type 1 and type 2. They offer real-time blood glucose monitoring, making them invaluable for those seeking to manage their condition effectively, reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and improve overall diabetes control.

CGMs work by utilizing a tiny sensor inserted under the skin to continuously measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. This sensor sends data to a transmitter, which then wirelessly transmits the information to a receiver or smartphone app. Users can monitor their blood glucose levels in real-time, facilitating proactive diabetes management.

• Clean the application site with an alcohol swab before attaching the sensor.
• Ensure the sensor adhesive is applied to dry, clean skin.
• Avoid applying lotions or creams to the sensor area.
• Use a protective adhesive overlay or tape to secure the sensor.
• Be mindful of clothing friction and choose looser-fitting garments.
• Consider skin preparation products designed to enhance sensor adhesion.

The lifespan of CGM sensors typically ranges from 7 to 14 days, depending on the specific brand and model. Manufacturers provide guidelines for sensor usage duration, and users should follow these recommendations to ensure accurate and reliable glucose monitoring while minimizing the risk of sensor detachment or malfunction.
