Different ways to measure your glucose, different insights
HbA1c
Shows your average glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months, but not how your glucose changes throughout the day.
Finger prick test
Shows your glucose at the moment you test, but not what happens before or after that measurement.
Continuous glucose monitoring
Shows how your glucose changes throughout the day and night, helping you see patterns around meals, activity and daily routines.
What can continuous glucose monitoring show you?
CGM helps you connect changes in your glucose to what happens during your day. This can make recurring patterns easier to recognise.
> After meals
See how your glucose responds to different foods, meals and portion sizes. Compare your responses to see which choices are followed by larger or smaller changes, and how long your glucose stays elevated after eating.
> After activity
See how your glucose changes around walking, exercise and other physical activity. This helps you recognise how movement fits into your personal glucose patterns.
> During the night
See how your glucose changes while you sleep and what your glucose looks like when you wake up. These overnight patterns are difficult to see with occasional measurements.
> Across different days
Compare similar meals, activities and daily routines on different days. Recurring patterns can become easier to recognise when you look beyond a single day.
The value of CGM is not just seeing your glucose level. It is understanding when and why it changes.

What can 4 weeks of CGM show you?
Two GlucoSensor Q sensors give you up to 4 weeks to observe your glucose in different situations, compare days and recognise recurring patterns.
✔ Week 1: Discover your usual patterns
See how your glucose typically changes during your normal daily routine.
✔ Week 2: Compare meals
Compare different foods, meals and portion sizes, and see how long your glucose stays elevated after eating.
✔ Week 3: Explore activity
See how walking, exercise and other activity fit into your personal glucose patterns.
✔ Week 4: Recognise patterns
Look back across several weeks and see which glucose responses and daily patterns occur repeatedly.
With up to 4 weeks of glucose insights, you have time to compare different situations and discover the patterns that matter to you.
I finally saw how differently my glucose responded to meals I thought were similar.
Finally, a CGM that’s actually affordable. It works really well and gives me the insights I was looking for.
I had never used a CGM before and was surprised how simple it was to get started.
See what you might be missing
Maybe you check your glucose with a finger prick from time to time. Maybe you do not measure at home at all and mainly rely on your regular HbA1c checks. For people with Type 2 diabetes, both can provide useful information, but they do not show how glucose changes throughout the entire day and night.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) fills in the gaps by showing how your glucose changes over time. With CGM, you can see:
✔ How your glucose responds after different meals
✔ How long your glucose stays elevated after eating
✔ What happens between individual measurements
✔ How walking and exercise affect your glucose
✔ How your glucose changes during the night
✔ Patterns that can be difficult to recognise from occasional measurements
Instead of seeing only individual moments, CGM helps you understand your glucose patterns throughout the day and night.
“Many people think their glucose is stable, but a CGM reveals significant fluctuations between finger pricks.”
