Abstract

The diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. Advances in modern technology have been an important place for improvements in the treatment of diabetes. Continous glucose sensors provide much more information on daytime and nighttime glucose pattern than glucose fingerstick measurements. The clinical studies reported improvement of glycemic control, quality of life and decreasing of hypoglycemic episodes in patients with diabetes. In that article the methodologies of the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are described. (Diabet. Prakt. 2010; 11, 5: 167–172)
