Glucose sensors work by continuously monitoring glucose levels and transmitting that data to a receiver. Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
The sensor detects the glucose level in your body every few minutes.
-
The transmitter sends the information to a receiver.
- The receiver is typically an app on your smartphone, a dedicated receiver device, or an insulin pump worn on your body.
-
The sensor needs to be replaced regularly.
- You have to replace the sensor every 10 to 14 days.
In summary, glucose sensors offer a continuous, automated way to track glucose levels, providing timely data for managing diabetes effectively.
