CGM-enabled pump therapy gives patients even more opportunity for improved glycemic control than MDI or pump therapy alone, because it allows patients to see a full glucose picture over time and helps guide patients along with fingerstick tests in therapy adjustments

CGM-enabled pumps reveal a comprehensive view of glucose highs, lows, and rates of change over time.This information is designed to augment the information from fingerstick tests to help guide immediate and long-term therapy adjustments.*

CGM doesn’t replace fingerstick testing; rather, it works with it. The idea is to use CGM to determine the direction your glucose is headed and the rate of change, then use your fingerstick test to determine your insulin dose.

Here’s a closer look at how the CGM sensor, transmitter and pump work.

* You must confirm your glucose reading with a fingerstick test before taking action
