Advanced Sugar Monitoring with CGMS - Apollo Sugar Clinic Vijayawada
Advanced sugar monitoring with CGMS
A Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) is a device that provides real-time readings of your blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. Here's how it can help in managing diabetes:
01. Continuous Monitoring:
CGMS continuously tracks glucose levels, not just at meal times or when you administer insulin. This gives a more comprehensive picture of your glucose trends.
02. Glucose Trend Insights:
By reviewing the data, you can see your glucose levels' pattern and understand how diet, exercise, medication, stress, and other factors affect your glucose.
03. Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia Alerts:
CGMS can alert you when your glucose levels are too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia), allowing for quick intervention.
04. Decision-Making Support
The information from your CGMS can help you and your healthcare team make decisions about food choices, physical activity, and medication adjustment.
05. Better Glycemic Control:
Studies have shown that using a CGMS can help individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes achieve better control of their blood sugar levels.
06. Lower HbA1c:
Regular use of CGMS can lead to a decrease in HbA1c levels, indicating better long-term glucose control.
Remember, while a CGMS can provide crucial data for diabetes management, it does not replace the need for regular HbA1c testing as recommended by your healthcare provider. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and instruction on how to make the most of your CGMS.
