Glucose Sensor
A glucose sensor is a small, wearable device that continuously monitors blood glucose levels in real time. It is commonly used by individuals with diabetes to track their blood sugar throughout the day and night, providing valuable data to help manage the condition. The sensor is typically placed on the skin, where it measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid and sends readings to a compatible device, such as a smartphone or insulin pump.
How It Works
The sensor uses a tiny filament inserted just under the skin to detect glucose concentrations. Data is transmitted wirelessly, allowing users to see trends and receive alerts if their blood sugar rises or falls outside target ranges.
Benefits of Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Continuous glucose monitoring helps improve diabetes management by:
Reducing the frequency of fingerstick tests
Providing real-time alerts for high or low glucose levels
Enabling better treatment adjustments based on patterns and trends
