Why Use a
Continuous
Blood Glucose Monitoring System
? Continuous blood glucose monitoring is a useful method of monitoring your glucose if it is done very frequently without having to lance your finger or forearm. A good continuous blood glucose monitor will help keep track of your numbers more often but you still need to check your sugar four times a day so the sensor is calibrated correctly. It alerts you whenever your blood sugars are going out of range and to discover trends in glucose levels. These continuous blood glucose monitoring systems are equipped with alarms to alert diabetic individuals of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia so that they can take corrective measures even in situations where they do not feel symptoms of either condition. While such a system has its limitations, it has been demonstrated that diabetics with continuous sensors experience less hyperglycemia and also lower their glycosylated hemoglobin levels. There are a few of such a system available. These are: 1. Medtronic Minimed Paradigm Pumps .This type of CGM approved by FDA since 2006 provides more frequent information,provides better control and helps reduce long term A1C 2. Freestyle Navigator 3. Dexcom Seven CGM By discovering trends in your glucose level will help your health care team make the most appropriate decisions regarding your treatment plan. Insurance Coverage For Continuous Blood Glucose Monitors Insurance coverage for continuous blood glucose monitoring systems is necessary as the meters can be used for a period ranging from 6 months to 2 years and for the disposable sensors that need to be replaced frequently. Unfortunately to date insurance companies in the US do not automatically cover the cost of continuous blood glucose monitors. But insurance coverage can be obtained on a case to case basis. . |
