Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
Overview
The Diabetes Technology Unit provides advanced solutions for diabetes management through modern devices such as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems and insulin pumps. By leveraging technology, the unit empowers patients to achieve tighter glucose control, reduce complications, and improve quality of life.
Scope of the Unit
The unit ensures patients receive comprehensive support from device initiation to continuous follow-up. It integrates seamlessly with endocrinology, nutrition, education, and psychology services to provide holistic care.
What We Manage
We support patients who require advanced, technology-based diabetes management using continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump systems, including those with difficult-to-control glucose levels or high-risk care needs, including those who:
- Experience fluctuating glucose levels or hypoglycemia unawareness.
- Struggle with poor control despite multiple daily injections.
- Seek advanced, flexible, and precise management tools.
- Require close glucose monitoring for pregnancy, children, or high-risk cases.
