Continuous glucose monitoring - answer continuous monitoring of tissue glucose levels
using a small sensor placed under the skin
3 components of CGM - answer sensor, transmitter, reader
CGM can detect ______ that BGM cannot - answerhyper/hypo - glycemia
real time CGM - answer(dexcom, Medtronic, eversense)
continuously transmit glucose data in real time to a receiver or smart device
includes alarms to warn patients of rising and falling glucose levels
intermittently scanned CGM - answer(freestyle)
requires scanning of the sensor to view glucose data on a reader or smart device
provides glucose data only when sensor is scanned
