Continuous Glucose Monitor The diabetes management market is undergoing a significant shift towards Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), which are surpassing the traditional finger prick methods. As a leading provider of semiconductor products for medical devices, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions...
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is now a standard of care technology, which enables people living with type 1 diabetes to quickly monitor and manage their glucose levels without frequent, painful, finger-prick testing. This article will provide an overview of CGM technologies, includi...
If your hands are clean and dry, you can use the first drop of blood that comes from the finger prick. If for some reason you can’t wash them, just wipe away the first drop and use the second. But don’t put too much pressure on the site or squeeze it – that may throw off ...
In recent years, CGMs have helped transform the treatment of type-1diabetesand have been used with good effect by people withtype-2 diabeteswho are on insulin therapy. The devices, originally developed for those with diabetes, are attached to the body and monitor blood glucose levels inreal-tim...
Blood Sucking Glucose Monitor No matter your age, having a finger pricked to measure your blood sugar levels is scary! Also, no matter your age, you gotta love a tamagotchi! This creative glucose monitoring system combines the two, making the process of pricking fingers as fun as it ...
A continuous glucose monitor doesn’t replace traditional home monitors. You’ll still need to measure your blood sugar with a regular glucose meter a few times a day to help the monitor stay accurate. Most monitors still require a finger stick, and you should also replace the sensor under ...
A CGM is a wearable technology that enables users to track their blood sugar levels in real time. Historically, individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes could monitor their blood sugar levels with fingerstick checks. Individuals would prick their fingertips with a small lancet (i.e., a nee...
The study was a randomized trial of 158 patients with type 1 diabetes who relied on multiple, daily injections of insulin (not an insulin pump). Two-thirds of the group used CGMs, and the remaining third used the finger prick method withtest stripsand a meter to check their blood sugars....
Glucose meters tend to make testing easier, but it can still be painful to constantly prick fingers for testing, especially for high-frequency testers. Now, there is a way to avoid unnecessary fingersticks: continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). A CGM captures your blood sugar levels and shows ...
Afon Technology recognises that the key to effective diabetes management lies in knowing one's blood sugar levels and when to take action to maintain a healthy range(5). Traditionally, people would rely on painful finger prick tests at least four times a day(6). Glucowear™ eliminates thi...
