Generally, a continuous glucose monitor checks your blood sugar every 1-5 minutes. You can view your blood sugar levels on your cell phone or a handheld reader device.

Continuous glucose monitors give you the most complete picture of what your blood sugar levels look like at all times, even when sleeping.

It depends on the type of monitor. Most continuous glucose monitors require sensor swapping every 3-7 days.

There are also long-term continuous glucose monitors. With this type of monitor, you visit the Chicago Diabetes Experts office several times a year for sensor swaps.
