Diabetes is a health condition that results in high blood sugar. Type One Diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the body damages its own pancreas. People with Type One diabetes rely on injections of insulin or an insulin pump to survive.

Why Blood Sugar Monitoring is Important

People with diabetes have to monitor their blood sugar carefully. Low blood sugar can lead to confusion and difficulties with physical and mental tasks. In extreme cases, it can also lead to loss of consciousness. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to complications such as heart and kidney disease and blindness. After a while, people with tight control of their diabetes often lose the symptoms of high and low blood sugar, making frequent monitoring of blood sugar critically important.

In the last few years, a new blood sugar monitor has come onto the market. The continuous glucose monitoring system is a device that moves beyond the old diabetes glucometer or meter pictured above. While finger sticks allow people with diabetes to see what their blood sugar is like at a specific moment in time, a continuous glucose monitor allows them to see trends in their blood sugar, reducing the guesswork about whether their blood sugar is moving up or down.
