Real-Time Insights for Superior Diabetes Management
How CGM Works
A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a wearable medical device tracking glucose levels 24/7. Unlike painful finger-pricks, a CGM provides real-time readings every few minutes via a discrete sensor, allowing for informed decisions on nutrition, exercise, and medication.
Predictive Alerts & Safety
CGM technology features predictive trend arrows and customizable high/low alerts. These systems prevent dangerous glycemic events before they occur and offer seamless data transparency with your family or caregivers.
Proven Clinical Results
By identifying how specific foods (trigger foods) and activities impact your blood sugar, CGMs are clinically proven to lower A1C levels and significantly reduce severe hypoglycemia episodes.

Clinical Necessity
Use of insulin OR a history of problematic hypoglycemia (Low blood sugar events).
Physician Evaluation
An in-person or telehealth visit with your doctor within the last 6 months.

Your doctor must document that you have been trained on how to use the device safely.
Continued Coverage
To maintain eligibility for monthly sensors, Medicare requires a follow-up clinical evaluation every 6 months to verify the CGM is effectively helping your management.
Professional Best Practices for New Users
-
Site Rotation: Alternate between your arm or abdomen to prevent skin irritation.
-
Hygiene First: Apply sensors to clean, dry skin—avoiding lotions or oils that cause the adhesive to fail.
-
Signal Range: Keep your smartphone or receiver within range (typically 20 feet) to avoid data gaps.
-
Sensor Replacements: Change sensors exactly as instructed (10 or 15 days) to maintain optimal accuracy.
