Beyond Fingersticks

The Art of Control with Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Everything you ever wanted to know about CGM (but didn't know to ask)! Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), the revolutionary technology that's poised to completely change diabetes care, gives you a unique peek beneath your skin, revealing what your blood sugar is doing-day and night and night and day. Beyond Fingersticks covers the history, science, biology, and technical details behind these systems. The author has left no stone unturned in helping you cope with the nuts and bolts of daily living with CGM systems, from choosing alarm thresholds that really work, to successful calibration, to affording a system, to dealing with the volumes of data they create. How to wear, travel, sleep with, and think about CGM - it's all here for you. Yep. Even sex wearing CGM.
