CGM uses a special glucose sensor probe worn discreetly under the skin that wirelessly sends sugar values to a receiver every five minutes for up to seven days. The sensor data shows sugar trends and patterns and gives the provider a detailed analysis of sugar values over a period of time. If this type of technology interests you, talk with your diabetes care team to learn if your insurance will cover it.
