glucose monitoring
Blood sugar surveillance
Glucose monitoring is the practice of measuring blood sugar levels, essential for managing diabetes.
Traditional methods use finger-prick blood samples and test strips with a portable meter.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) uses sensors worn on the body that track levels throughout the day: Her glucose monitoring showed a spike after lunch.
The data helps guide insulin dosing and dietary choices.
