CGM vs. Other Methods

Continuous glucose monitors are easy to use, and help you spot trends and patterns in your glucose levels, so you can adjust your lifestyle accordingly to meet a variety of wellness goals.

Here are five additional methods that can help you take a closer look at your blood sugar levels:

  • Finger prick test (Glucometer)
  • A1C test
  • Fasting glucose test
  • Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
  • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM)

Most methods of measuring glucose levels involve collecting a small blood sample to provide a blood sugar reading for a given moment.

Unlike other methods, the CGM sensor stays on your arm for up to 14 days and measures glucose in real time.

You can scan your CGM with a smartphone using an app like the Nutrisense app to observe trends, get immediate feedback, and learn how your lifestyle habits may affect your well-being.
