Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) is an emerging and widely accepted technique for monitoring and management of blood glucose levels. Blood glucose level can be compared with a tennis ball, the way a tennis ball bounces blood sugar also behaves the same going from high to low rapidly. Without having an accurate measurement of the patient’s level of sugar, injecting insulin could pose more of a risk to the patient rather than a benefit by inducing hypoglycemia. Continuous glucose monitoring system measures blood glucose level every 5-15 minutes of intervals which helps in having a clear idea of blood glucose level and accordingly dose of insulin that can be administered. This review discusses the history of blood glucose monitoring in the past 100 years, and also gives detailed information on the continuous glucose monitoring system, its working, technology, its wide usage and its superiority over other glucose monitoring techniques and limitations that are to be addressed, and also giving a view on how the future will be of glucose monitoring based on the survey of the variety of literature available on the topic. This review will help readers to understand the continuous glucose monitoring system in the most precise manner and will help to adopt continuous glucose monitoring systems more efficiently in the management of diabetes.
