Continuous Glucose
Monitoring System
What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)?
CGM stands for Continuous Glucose Monitoring. A CGM system essentially tracks glucose levels 24/7, every few minutes, through a tiny sensor placed either on your abdomen or arm, using an automatic inserter. The sensor measures your interstitial glucose level, which is the glucose level found in the fluid that surrounds the cells.

A blood glucose meter only provides a brief “snapshot” of your glucose level at a single moment in time. A CGM system gives you a greater view of your glucose trends. CGM can provide valuable information1 at crucial points during the day, including before and during exercise, prior to driving, before test/exam-taking, and in the middle of the night.
What are the different ways to use CGM?
Whether you manage your diabetes with a pump, multiple daily injections, oral medications or through diet and exercise, Medtronic offers CGM products and insulin pump systems that give you, your loved ones and healthcare professionals the insights to track and manage your diabetes on your terms.
