Abstract :
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease causing several side effects. The basis of conventional diabetes management is the blood glucose detection with glucometers. Another approach is the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) that can be the solution for individual and optimal management of diabetes because it is less painful and inconvenient. Although there are several challenges with CGM which must be solved there are proofs of the usability and justification of using CGM systems. In this paper, we gave a short review of the basics, goals and methods of CGM systems.
