Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems

Monitoring of the glycemic status performed by patients is considered a cornerstone of diabetes care. Results of self-monitoring are used to assess the efficacy of therapy and to make adjustments in insulin dosage, diet and exercise in order to achieve the best possible blood glucose control. Even if patients test four to six times a day (see chart) they have a limited understanding of their glucose profiles over any 24h period. They only get snapshots and they may miss periods of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.

Only continuous monitoring allows diabetic patients to check their blood glucose status throughout the day and night, to reduce the elevated glucose values, and at the same time avoid low glucose levels.

Currently available continuous glucose monitoring systems are far from optimal. None of these monitors are practical for daily use. Blood glucose sensors of the future must detect glucose levels in a painless, comfortable, reliable and cost-effective way over time. Only such systems can offer the convenience and safety needed by diabetic patients for optimal management of their disease.
