continuous glucose monitoring
Type: process Aliases: continuous glucose monitor CGM
Systems Analogy
Installing a dashboard pressure gauge that logs real-time water flow rates instead of checking the reservoir level once a day.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); the tracking of interstitial fluid glucose levels in real-time to observe glycemic variability and patterns of metabolic regulation.
