Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems - Dexcom

What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)?

Unlike a fingerprick, which gives patients a glucose reading for a single point in time, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) gives glucose readings every 5 minutes so patients know where they've been, where they are and where they’re headed. It even takes into consideration the speed and direction of changing glucose levels.¹
