FGM Devices - Convenient Glucose Monitoring
FGM Devices FAQ
What is FGM & how does it work?
FGM enables a low-threshold entry into what is clearly “more information”: Even if the glucose measurements are not constantly updated (as in CGM) and therefore no instant alarms are triggered when defined limit values are exceeded, the current glucose value is quickly available if needed.
What is flash glucose monitoring (FGM)?
Introduction Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) is a factory-calibrated sensor-based technology for the measurement of interstitial glucose. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess its efficacy and safety in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Can FGM be used to monitor glucose levels in patients with diabetes?
Our findings indicate that FGM is an effective and safe strategy to monitor glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Glycemic management aiming at blood glucose concentrations close to the normal range is key for a successful diabetes care.
What are the different types of FGM?
FGM has been categorised into four types, ranging from a symbolic prick to the clitoris or prepuce, to the fairly extensive removal and narrowing of the vaginal opening. All these forms of FGM have been found in the UK. FGM is sometimes known as ‘female genital cutting’ or female circumcision.
What is female genital mutilation - information sharing (FGM-is)?
Female Genital Mutilation - Information Sharing (FGM-IS) is a national IT system that supports the early intervention and ongoing safeguarding of girls, under the age of 18, who have a family history of female genital mutilation (FGM).
Are there any forms of FGM in the UK?
All these forms of FGM have been found in the UK. FGM is sometimes known as ‘female genital cutting’ or female circumcision. Communities tend to use local names for referring to this practice, including ‘sunna’. FGM is considered a grave violation of the rights of girls and women.
How do I apply for female genital mutilation (FGM)?
find out about call charges. You can also contact the nearest British embassy if you’re already abroad. Download and fill in an application form (FGM001). Read the guidance to find out which courts you can apply to. These documents raise awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM) and provide advice on preventative measures.
