THINGS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BGM!
1. What is Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM)?
Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) is the process of tracking blood sugar levels to help manage diabetes and maintain optimal health. This can be done using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) or traditional blood glucose meters (BGM devices).
2. How does a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) work?
A CGM device continuously tracks your blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. It uses a tiny sensor inserted under the skin to measure glucose in interstitial fluid, providing real-time readings without finger pricks.
3. Who can benefit from Blood Glucose Monitoring?
BGM is beneficial for individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or anyone looking to monitor their glucose levels for better health management.
4. Do I need a prescription to get a CGM device?
Yes, most CGM devices require a prescription. Health Track Solutions assists individuals in obtaining CGMs through proper channels.
5. How often should I check my blood sugar?
For individuals using traditional glucose meters, testing frequency depends on medical advice. CGM users benefit from continuous readings, reducing the need for frequent manual checks.
6. Is Blood Glucose Monitoring covered by insurance?
Many insurance providers, including Medicare, cover CGMs for individuals with diabetes. Our team can help you determine your eligibility.
