At US MED ®, we offer continuous glucose monitoring systems from leading brands, such as the FreeStyle Libre 2 system, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system, and the Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7.

But, these sensors can be costly, and CGM device prices often differ depending on the provider and length of your plan. The price of glucose monitors via CGM programs can vary from $134 to $399 per month. These programs typically include a shipment of 2 CGMs every month throughout the duration of your subscription.

Continuous glucose monitoring means using a device to automatically estimate your blood glucose level, also called blood sugar, throughout the day and night. You can see what your blood glucose level is at any time. You can also review how your blood glucose level changes over a few hours or days and spot trends.

Insulin administration and blood glucose (blood sugar) monitoring have transformed from multiple finger pricks in a day to a few swipes on a cell phone. With a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), one can see in real time if they're trending high or low and take preventative measures against hypo and hyperglycemia.

In the past few years, CGMs have become popular in India. One of the most popular devices is flash libre, where the sensor is to be attached on the upper arm.

Two types of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are currently available for daily diabetes self-management: real-time CGM and intermittently scanned CGM.

The first “real-time” CGM was the Glucowatch Biographer (Cygnus, Redwood, CA). This device was worn as a wristwatch using “reverse iontophoresis” to stimulate the secretion of subcutaneous fluid, from which glucose was measured using an electrode.

The cost of the CGM differs according to the manufacturers and features provided. However, CGM device typically ranges from INR 5000 to INR 10,000.
