What are the Best Ways to Continuously Monitor Glucose Levels?
People who have diabetes can choose from several methods to monitor their blood glucose levels. Many individuals with diabetes appreciate the real-time information provided by a continuous glucose monitor, or CGM since you can see almost immediately how the food you eat affects your blood sugar. CGM also eliminates uncomfortable finger-sticks and improves the ability to control hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia before health complications arise. Explore the research about CGM to determine whether this tool is right for you or a family member who has type 1 diabetes.
