Robak z CGM: Th Core Technology

The Sensor: Tiny Electrochemical Lab
Te sensor is a thin, explixble filament (typically 5- 6 mm long ands than 0.5 mm wide) that is inserted into the subcutanous tissue using a spring- loaded applicator. It rests in thee interstitial fluid - thee fluid that bathes cells - not in a blood vessel. This is a critical discrition: interstitial fluid glucose (ISF) lags behind blood glucose, which wol displain lateil lateir.
