Why Glucose Monitoring is critical?Blood Sugar varies continuously:
For Diabetics very high or very low glucose levels in the blood produce long term and short term consequences which breaks down the diabetics body
• Affects the Blood Vesels (Atherosclerosis)• Affects the Heart (Risk of Cardiac Disease)• Attacks the Nerves (Neuropathy)• Attacks the blood vessels in the Retina (Retinopathy
can cause blindness)
Continuous monitoring Allows for optimal treatment strategies
