Continuous Glucose Monitors

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) make it easier to manage diabetes. These cutting-edge devices deliver real-time blood sugar data, reducing the need for finger stick tests and lowering the risk of diabetes complications.

Continuous glucose monitors use a small sensor that’s inserted into the skin, typically on the arm or abdomen. The sensor measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid—the fluid surrounding the body’s cells—rather than directly from the blood. The sensor sends this data to a connected device, such as a smartphone, smartwatch, or insulin pump, providing users with continuous readings.

Benefits of CGMs

One of the key benefits of continuous glucose monitors is their ability to help individuals stay within their target blood sugar range. Many continuous glucose monitors include customizable alerts that notify users if their blood sugar is rising too high or dropping too low. This allows them to take action before reaching dangerous levels.

CGMs also provide valuable data for long-term diabetes management. By consistently monitoring glucose levels, they identify blood sugar patterns and trends. This allows users to make informed decisions about their diet, exercise, and medication and helps them tailor a diabetes management plan to their lifestyle. CGM data can also be shared with healthcare providers to help create actionable health plans for the user.

CGMs help lower the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems, by reducing fluctuations and keeping blood sugar levels within a healthier range. CGMs empower individuals to take a more proactive approach to diabetes management, improving their overall health and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Continuous Glucose Monitors

A continuous glucose monitor is a small, wearable sensor that collects and transmits blood sugar data to a receiver or smartphone 24/7. Continuous glucose monitors are one of the most advanced and convenient ways to track your blood glucose levels in real time. They have revolutionized diabetes care by reducing the need for frequent finger stick tests.

Continuous glucose monitoring systems work by inserting a small sensor into the skin. This sensor measures glucose levels and sends the data to a receiver, smartphone, or insulin pump. This consistent tracking allows for better diabetes management, alerting users to potential highs and lows before they become serious issues.

Advanced Diabetes Supply (ADS) offers the latest continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices for those living with diabetes. Free priority shipping and an easy ordering process ensure you receive your CGM quickly and hassle-free.

Yes, a prescription is required for most continuous glucose monitoring systems. However, ADS simplifies this process by working directly with healthcare providers and insurance companies to secure your prescription and coverage.

Medicare covers continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), but eligibility depends on specific criteria.

Note: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has temporarily waived its face-to-face requirement, allowing telehealth visits and medical record documentation to qualify for CGM coverage.

Continuous glucose monitor sensors are typically inserted using a small applicator that places the sensor just beneath the skin. The process is quick and relatively painless, allowing users to continuously track their glucose levels with minimal discomfort.

Modern continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are highly accurate and provide reliable blood sugar readings. However, like any device, slight variations can occur compared to traditional blood glucose meters (BGMs). If you ever experience symptoms that don’t match your CGM readings or are unsure about the data, it’s always best to check your levels with a BGM for confirmation. CGMs offer real-time insights that support diabetes management, but using a BGM when needed ensures the most informed decisions about your health.

The lifespan of CGM sensors varies by brand and model. Some sensors last up to 90 days, while others may need replacement every 7 to 15 days. Advanced Diabetes Supply provides guidance on the best CGM options tailored to your needs. Contact us to learn more!
