The game-changing technology for diabetes management #shorts

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology is a matured system that accurately and reliably monitors glucose levels without the need for painful finger pricks four or more times a day. All type one diabetes patients are recommended to use CGM devices, and now it's recognized that even those with type two diabetes, whether or not they're on insulin, can benefit significantly from CGM devices. For those on insulin, where blood glucose levels are more variable, CGM technology is especially useful.
