Don’t take a shot in the dark.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) shines a light on where your BG really is, where it was, and where it’s going. CGM with the SEVEN® PLUS stand-alone system could be your best shot at better control, no matter how you deliver your insulin. More direction means more protection.

How CGM can benefit injection therapy

With CGM, you get the equivalent of 288 readings a day — that’s every 5 minutes. It’s like having the option to check your BG as often as some people check email on their phones. A “good A1c” may not necessarily mean “good control”.1 1 Hirsch IB. Glycemic variability: it’s not just about A1C anymore! Diabetes Technol Ther. 2005; 7(5)780-783. For the past hour, John has been worrying and wondering what his glucose level is. Know where you are and where you’re heading, and help prevent a high or low before it happens. That’s peace of mind you can’t get from fingersticks alone. Studies have shown that non-pumpers can achieve an equal level of control as pumpers.1-2 1Garg S, Jovanovic L.
