Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Shri Balaji Diagnostic is at the forefront of diabetes management, offering state-of-the-art Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) services. CGM is an advanced method to track glucose levels in real-time, providing valuable insights for managing diabetes effectively.

Comprehensive CGM Setup and Training:

• Initial Consultation: During the initial consultation, endocrinologists and diabetes specialists assess the patient’s needs and determine the suitability of CGM.
• Device Selection: Assistance in selecting the appropriate CGM device based on the patient’s lifestyle, preferences, and medical requirements. Popular CGM systems include the Dexcom G6, Freestyle Libre, and Medtronic Guardian Connect.
• Training and Education: Detailed training sessions on how to use the CGM device, including sensor insertion, device calibration (if needed), and understanding glucose trends and alerts.

Real-Time Glucose Monitoring and Alerts:

• 24/7 Glucose Tracking: CGM devices continuously measure glucose levels throughout the day and night, providing real-time data to patients and healthcare providers.
• Customizable Alerts: Patients can set personalized glucose level alerts to warn them of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), enabling prompt action to avoid complications.

Data Analysis and Reporting:

• Automated Data Collection: The CGM system automatically collects and stores glucose data, which can be downloaded and reviewed during follow-up appointments.
• Detailed Reports: Comprehensive reports generated from CGM data, including glucose trends, patterns, and time-in-range metrics, which help in making informed decisions regarding diabetes management.

Telemedicine Integration:

• Remote Monitoring: Integration with telemedicine platforms allows patients to share their glucose data remotely with their healthcare providers, facilitating continuous monitoring and timely intervention.
• Virtual Consultations: Regular virtual consultations with diabetes specialists to review CGM data, adjust treatment plans, and provide ongoing support.

Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling:

• Dietary Guidance: Personalized dietary recommendations from nutritionists based on CGM data to optimize blood sugar control and overall health.
• Exercise and Activity Advice: Tailored exercise plans considering the patient’s glucose trends and physical activity levels to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

Insurance and Financial Assistance:

• Insurance Coordination: Assistance with insurance coverage and reimbursement for CGM devices and supplies.
• Financial Support: Guidance on available financial aid programs to make CGM more accessible to all patients.
