Continuous glucose monitoring improves diabetes management

Monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial for diabetes management. Finger prick tests, used for infrequent testing, are still in use, but continuous glucose monitoring has transformed testing for those needing insulin. Continuous monitoring provides real-time information and alarms for low or high glucose levels, but has a time lag and cost considerations. Implantable devices are in development. It's important to consult medical professionals when choosing a monitoring device.
