Continuos Glucose Monitoring: Overview
For an unmatched level of insight™
|
 |
With up to 288 glucose readings per day, continuous glucose monitoring provides a level of detail about your patients’ glycaemic patterns that was previously unattainable. Now you can compile and analyse comprehensive glycaemic-trend data in a logical, graphical format — increasing the depth of information on which you can base clinical decisions. |
Pinpoint specific causes of sub-optimal control, such as undetected hypo- and hyperglycaemia
|
|
Continuous glucose monitoring allows you to uncover correctable factors hidden from detection with occasional fingerstick testing 1 and HbA1c values. |
Help educate and motivate diabetes patients
|
|
Patients can better understand the cause-and-effect relationship between daily activities and their blood glucose levels, which may have profound effects on both their self-monitoring and their way of living. 2 |
|
Assess patients with data that is reliable and accuratE |
|
Proven correlation to fingerstick measurements in a home setting. 3

|
Proven to accurately follow rapid hyper- and hypoglycaemic glucose excursions.4 |
