Authors' objectives:
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are minimally invasive or noninvasive devices that measure glucose levels in interstitial fluid at frequent intervals over a period of several days. CGM systems are designed to obtain information regarding diurnal patterns in glucose levels that, when evaluated in real time or reviewed retrospectively by a physician, can guide adjustments to therapy, with the goal of improving overall glycemic control. The glucose measurements provided during continuous monitoring are not intended to replace standard self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) obtained using fingerstick blood samples, but can alert the patient to the need to perform SMBG.
