Calibrating the BUZUD Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System: Ensuring Accuracy for Optimal Diabetes Management

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems have revolutionized diabetes management by providing real-time glucose readings. The BUZUD CGM system is a powerful tool designed to help users maintain optimal glucose control. However, like all CGM systems, proper calibration is crucial to ensure accurate readings. This article explores the calibration process, key settings functions, and best practices for using the BUZUD CGM system.

Key Settings Functions

Routine Alerts

The BUZUD CGM system offers a range of customizable routine alerts to help users manage their glucose levels effectively:

• Alert Frequency: Users can set how often they receive alerts for glucose fluctuations.
• Ring Duration: Customize the duration of alert sounds to ensure you are promptly notified.
• High Glucose Alert: Set a threshold to receive alerts when glucose levels rise above a certain point.
• Low Glucose Alert: Define a threshold for alerts when glucose levels drop too low.
• Glucose Rising Fast: Receive alerts when glucose levels are increasing rapidly.
• Glucose Falling Fast: Get notified if glucose levels are decreasing quickly.
• Threshold for Low and High Glucose Alerts: Customize specific glucose levels that trigger low or high glucose alerts.

Critical Alerts

Critical alerts are essential for managing severe glucose fluctuations, particularly for individuals with Type 1 diabetes who are at risk of dangerous lows, especially during sleep:

• Low Glucose Alert: This critical alert is crucial as low glucose levels can be life-threatening. The BUZUD CGM system ensures that users are immediately notified to take action.

Real-Time CGM Data Display

One of the standout features of the BUZUD CGM system is its real-time data display capability. Users can monitor their glucose levels directly on their phone’s lock screen, providing quick and convenient access to vital information. This feature ensures that users can make timely decisions based on their current glucose readings without needing to unlock their phones.

Comparing Yesterday’s Data

The BUZUD CGM system allows users to compare their current glucose data with the previous day’s readings. This comparative feature helps in identifying patterns and making informed adjustments to dietary, medication, or lifestyle choices.

CGM Calibration Timing and Conditions

Proper calibration of the BUZUD CGM system is essential to ensure accurate glucose readings. Here are the optimal times and conditions for calibration:

1. Avoid Calibration in the First 24 Hours: Do not perform calibrations during the first 24 hours of using the CGM system. This period is crucial for the sensor to settle.
2. Calibrate if Variance Exceeds 20%: If there is more than a 20% difference between the background glucose monitoring (BGM) and CGM readings, calibration is necessary.
3. Calibrate on an Empty Stomach: Ensure fasting before calibrating. Ideal times are before meals or in the morning when blood glucose is above 5mmol/L. Calibration is not recommended when blood glucose is below 4.4mmol/L due to potential meter inaccuracies at low levels.
4. Considering Blood Glucose Trends: Refer to the blood glucose trend arrow and instant value before calibrating. Perform calibration when the trend is steady, slowly rising, or falling.
   • Steady: Changing less than 0.06 mmol/L per minute.
   • Slowly Rising or Falling: Changing between 0.06 to 0.11 mmol/L per minute.
5. Number of Calibrations: There are no limits on the number of daily calibrations, but following the optimal timings and conditions is essential for accuracy.

Conclusion

Calibration is a critical step in maintaining the accuracy of the BUZUD Continuous Glucose Monitoring system. By adhering to the recommended calibration timing and conditions, users can ensure their CGM provides reliable data. Customizable alerts and real-time data display enhance the usability of the system, making glucose management more efficient. Remember, avoid calibrating during the first 24 hours, calibrate on an empty stomach, and consider blood glucose trends to maintain optimal accuracy.
