📝 Description

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are medical devices that track glucose levels throughout the day and night. They typically consist of a small sensor inserted under the skin, which sends glucose readings wirelessly to a receiver or smartphone app. CGMs provide real-time data, helping individuals understand how diet, exercise, and other factors affect their blood sugar.
