Continuous glucose monitoring
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 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
The Continuous Glucose Monitoring system has proven correlation to fingerstick measurements in a home setting [3] and accurately follows rapid hyper- and hypoglycaemic glucose excursions. [4]
