About Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Take off the blindfold with CGM

Like a car, glucose levels are constantly on the move. Relying solely on fingersticks for checking your glucose is like being blindfolded and only peeking every once in a while — this is just not enough visibility. As Charlie Kimball, a SEVEN® user and Formula racecar driver, puts it, "If you were blindfolded around the track and could only peek 4 times, you'd be bouncing off the walls. If you can have your eyes open continuously, you can do your best. This continuous visibility is what it's like using the SEVEN." Read Charlie's SEVEN story.

The SEVEN® PLUS is a CGM device that sends a glucose reading every 5 minutes to the Receiver, so it's like you're seeing up to 288 fingersticks daily. Plus, it tells you which direction your glucose is moving and how quickly it's headed there — something fingersticks could never tell you. This helps you to Stay Between The Lines® of your target range.
