The main dynamic glucose meters on the market today are FreeStyleLibre and DexcomG6. 1.FreeStyleLibre. This glucose meter is worn on the upper arm and can be scanned through clothing to measure glucose in interstitial fluid. This glucose meter is waterproof and can be worn in the shower and swimming. 2. DexcomG6: Worn on the abdomen, the glucose meter’s sensor transmits glucose information from subcutaneous interstitial fluid to a phone, tablet or smartwatch. There is no need to calibrate the meter with a glucose meter, and it can warn of severe hypoglycemic events up to 20 minutes in advance. The main advantage of ambulatory glucose monitoring is that it can detect hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia that are not easily detected by traditional monitoring methods, especially postprandial hyperglycemia and nocturnal asymptomatic hypoglycemia, which can help to develop individualized treatment plans and improve patient adherence. Patients with type 2 diabetes can choose the right glucose meter under the guidance of their doctors.
