Benefits of CGM
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems provide a glucose reading every five minutes, 288 times per day, giving you insights that fingersticks cannot match.
Small Sensor
A discreet sensor located just underneath your skin measures glucose levels.
Transmitter
Glucose data is sent wirelessly to an insulin pump* and compatible smart device via Bluetooth technology.
The t:slim X2 insulin pump displays the current glucose reading from the CGM system plus a trend arrow and trend line. This makes it easy to see where you are now, spot trends, and catch high and low glucose events before they happen. When combined with current insulin on board, it helps you make informed treatment decisions.
Even if you test your blood sugar as often as recommended, there’s a big part of the picture you’re not seeing with fingersticks alone.
What would you do at 5.7?
If your glucose continues to fall at the current rate, you could be below 3.3 mmol/L in the next 15 minutes.
Your glucose could move up or down by 0.8 mmol/L over the next 15 minutes, but you are holding steady.
If your glucose continues to rise at the current rate, you could be close to 8.3 mmol/L in the next 15 minutes.
