Clinical application of continuous glucose monitoring / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), an emerging technology for glucose monitoring, is able to reflect blood glucose level with a glucose sensor that monitors the glucose concentration in the subcutaneous tissue. Providing the continuous and comprehensive glycemic information, CGM shows unique advantages in the assessment of blood glucose fluctuations. CGM offers an effective supplement to the traditional monitoring approaches, which is of great significance in the study of the individualized treatment for patients and the research of the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus.
