CGMs Are Saving Lives!

Checking your blood sugar shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) make it easier to stay informed — and in control — without endless finger sticks.

These devices offer real-time data, gentle alerts, and trend tracking so you can catch highs and lows before they turn into a crisis. Many people sleep better, adjust medications more confidently, and feel more in control of their day.

What Is a CGM?

A Continuous Glucose Monitor is a small sensor you wear on your arm or abdomen that tracks glucose levels around the clock. It sends readings directly to your smartphone or receiver — giving you a clear picture of how food, stress, and medications affect your blood sugar.

Who Benefits Most?

CGMs are ideal for adults who:

  • Use insulin or experience frequent highs and lows

  • Want fewer finger sticks and more reliable data

  • Need help identifying patterns over time

  • Have caregivers supporting their daily care

True Life-Saving Equipment

Meet my father-in-law, Korean War Veteran, Fred. He just turned 87 — and thanks to his CGM, he got to enjoy his birthday cake without triggering a glucose emergency.

Before using a CGM, Fred’s blood sugar looked like a roller coaster. He couldn’t feel his highs and lows, and finger sticks got harder because of a tremor. Once he started using a CGM, everything changed.

Fred and his whole family can now catch trends before they turn into serious issues.
It’s become a true lifeline — one that helped us celebrate a very special Veterans Day together.
