Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Devices; Help Manage Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes with Fewer Fingerstick Tests
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Devices
Continuous glucose monitoring devices are medical
devices often used to monitor blood glucose on a continual basis by
insulin-requiring people with type I and type II diabetes. Glucose monitor
automatically tracks blood sugar (blood glucose levels), throughout the day and
night. While blood glucose monitoring devices measure blood glucose levels,
continuous glucose monitoring devices measure the glucose levels in the
interstitial fluid. Glucose monitoring is absolutely vital for people with
diabetes to avoid complications associated with the disease.
The Global
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Devices Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8,865.65 million in 2022
and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of
24.8% during the forecast period (2022-2030).
For instance, DiaMonTech (Germany) has developed a
device that non-invasively measures blood glucose without finger pricking, a
drop of blood, or a test strip. Glucose monitors are a great tool to keep a
closer eye on the blood sugar levels. That is where a device called a
continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help. People with type I or type II
diabetes can use these meters to know their blood sugar levels at any given
moment. Glucose levels are a serious health issue, and high glucose levels can
damage organs and tissues.
Continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM) devices
make it easy to track blood glucose levels without the need for a doctor's
visit. The benefits of using the CGM system are numerous. CGM can track the
glucose response to changes in insulin therapy and can help patients and
physicians determine whether the insulin adjustments were correct. Blood glucose monitoring helps determine whether
people are meeting their glucose targets which helps reduce the unpleasant
symptoms of high and low blood sugar, and helps avoid long-term diabetes
complications.
Therefore, with the increase in prevalence of diabetes
across the globe, the demand for continuous glucose monitoring devices is also
increasing with a rapid pace. According to the German Center for Diabetes
Research (survey and investigation conducted by the Robert Koch Institute), around
8.5 million people in Germany are affected by diabetes. According to estimates,
around 2 million people with undetected diabetes live with it.
