With BUZUD CGM, you can make treatment decisions without relying on a blood glucose (BG) meter.However, until you are fully confident in using the CGM, it's recommended to continue using a meter—especially in special situations or when glucose levels are changing rapidly.Do not rush the transition. It may take days, weeks, or even longer for you to feel comfortable using CGM data to guide treatment decisions.Work closely with your healthcare professional to regularly review your CGM readings and physical symptoms to determine what works best for you.When Can You Use BUZUD CGM for Treatment Decisions?You can use BUZUD CGM data for treatment decisions when you see both a glucose value and a trend steady arrow displayed on the BUZUD app home screen.BUZUD CGM uses arrows to indicate the direction and speed of glucose changes. The meaning of each trend arrow is as follows:When Should You Use a Blood Glucose Meter?When no glucose value or trend arrow appears in the BUZUD appWhen your physical symptoms do not match the CGM reading (e.g., you feel dizzy or sweaty, but CGM shows a normal value)In these cases, use your blood glucose meter and rely on that reading for any treatment decisions.When Should You Watch and Wait?Avoid taking multiple insulin doses too close together (known as "insulin stacking")Wait at least 2 hours between insulin dosesIf a rapid change is shown in the trend arrows, or after a recent dose or meal, it's best to monitor the trend before making further adjustmentsIf you are unsure about a reading or do not feel well, consult your doctor or contact BUZUD support for assistance.
1. BackgroundWith the widespread adoption of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems in diabetes management, their technical limitations have become increasingly evident. A common artifact seen in clinical practice is compression-induced false hypoglycemia, commonly referred to as “compression low.” This typically occurs at night, presenting as low glucose alarms from CGM devices without symptoms or confirmation via capillary blood glucose testing.This white paper aims to systematically analyze the mechanism, brand-specific differences, clinical identification, and management strategies of compression low based on published studies and manufacturer documentation, to help medical professionals enhance their ability to interpret CGM data anomalies.2. Definition and Clinical ManifestationsCompression-induced false hypoglycemia refers to the inaccurate low glucose readings detected by CGM sensors under mechanical pressure (e.g., lying on the sensor during sleep), due to impaired interstitial fluid flow at the sensor site.Common clinical signs include:Sudden drop and rapid recovery patterns on CGM curves during nighttime;Absence of typical hypoglycemia symptoms;Discrepancy between CGM readings and capillary blood glucose values;Sensor readings normalize after pressure is relieved.3. Mechanisms1. Restricted Interstitial Fluid PerfusionCGM sensors measure glucose concentration in interstitial fluid, not directly in blood. External pressure reduces local capillary perfusion and slows interstitial fluid exchange, leading to artificially low readings.2. Extended Lag EffectAfter pressure is relieved, glucose recovery in the interstitial fluid takes time. This physiological lag causes continued falsely low readings even after the compression is gone.3. Probe DisplacementMechanical force may alter the insertion angle or depth of the sensor probe, shifting it to a low-perfusion or non-target area, thus compromising signal reliability.4. Clinical Evidence and FrequencyKey Studies:Mensh BD, 2013, J Diabetes Sci Technol: Demonstrated significantly increased false low risk from sleeping on the sensor.Facchinetti A, 2016, Diabetes Technol Ther: Found that median compression low events lasted ~45 minutes (range 30–70 mins) in Dexcom G4 users, mostly occurring at night.Helton J, 2011: Modeled CGM errors based on interstitial fluid dynamics and first proposed compression-perfusion interplay as a mechanism.Frequency Observations:Nighttime is a high-risk period, especially during prolonged sleep in one position;Sensors worn for longer durations, with poor fixation or improper adhesion, are more prone to this artifact;Most users may encounter 1–3 compression low events during a typical 7-day CGM cycle.5. Brand-Specific DifferencesDexcomOfficial documentation explicitly acknowledges compression lows;Recommends sensor placement in low-pressure areas (e.g., lateral abdomen, back of the upper arm);G6/G7 systems offer faster recovery but cannot completely eliminate the issue.Abbott FreeStyle LibreThe user manual does not explicitly define compression low, but highlights that sensor dislodgement or poor adhesion can cause falsely low readings;Clinical reports indicate Libre 2/3 sensors are more susceptible, especially in lean individuals.Medtronic Guardian SensorAdvises against sensor placement in areas prone to motion or compression;Compression-induced errors may falsely trigger SmartGuard automatic insulin suspension, affecting insulin delivery.Senseonics Eversense (Implantable CGM)As a fully implantable sensor, Eversense is largely immune to external pressure effects;No reported cases of compression lows, making it unique among CGM systems.BUZUD CGMBUZUD uses a subcutaneous sensor structure similar to traditional CGMs, supporting real-time glucose monitoring;Preliminary testing shows improved resistance to compression-related signal artifacts due to enhanced stability and adhesion;Compression lows may still occur; BUZUD advises avoiding sensor placement in areas likely to be compressed during sleep;If abnormal readings occur, users are encouraged to confirm via capillary blood glucose testing.6. Clinical Management RecommendationsIdentification Criteria:CGM curve shows sudden drop with rapid rebound, inconsistent with true hypoglycemia;No symptoms of hypoglycemia present;Strong correlation with sleep position or pressure on the sensor area.Response Strategies:Educate patients to choose sensor sites unlikely to be compressed while lying down;Do not immediately treat CGM-reported lows with carbohydrates—verify with fingerstick first;Label these events in medical records as “compression-induced artifacts” to avoid misdiagnosis or overtreatment;If frequently recurring, reassess adhesion method and device stability, and contact manufacturer if needed;Encourage CGM manufacturers to optimize algorithms that detect compression-related patterns to reduce false alarms.7. ConclusionCompression-induced false hypoglycemia is a CGM-specific artifact that poses challenges to accurate diabetes management. Its relatively frequent occurrence and potential clinical impact necessitate better understanding among healthcare providers.By improving clinical recognition, educating users on proper placement and sleep behavior, and working with device manufacturers to enhance signal processing, the burden of this artifact on clinical decision-making can be significantly reduced.It is recommended that all diabetes care teams include this topic in CGM interpretation training to strengthen understanding of device limitations and improve patient outcomes.
Time in Range (TIR) refers to the percentage of time that a person's glucose levels stay within a defined target range. It is a key indicator for assessing the quality of glucose control, typically based on data collected from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices.TIR reflects the proportion of time that glucose levels fall into three general categories:Target Range: 3.9–10.0 mmol/LVery High: Above 13.9 mmol/LVery Low: Below 3.0 mmol/LThese thresholds are based on international clinical consensus, but doctors may adjust them according to individual needs.Why is TIR important?TIR provides a more dynamic view of daily glucose control than A1C alone.Maintaining a higher TIR (e.g., above 70%) is associated with reduced risk of complications.TIR is useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, medication response, or lifestyle changes.TIR is becoming a standard metric in diabetes management and supports more personalized, real-time care.
The Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) is a standardized glucose report developed and licensed by the International Diabetes Center (IDC).The AGP report compiles continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data over a period of time to provide a comprehensive overview of glucose trends, offering a big-picture view of diabetes management.It is important to note that the AGP is just one tool for understanding glucose patterns. It should be interpreted in combination with lifestyle, medication use, and other medical information.

What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)?BUZUD Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system continuously tracks your glucose levels throughout the day and night, and automatically alerts you when your glucose goes too high or too low—helping you respond proactively.The CGM system measures glucose at regular intervals every few minutes, 24/7. These readings are translated into dynamic charts that clearly show glucose trends and the rate of change, giving you a comprehensive view of your glucose fluctuations and helping you make more informed lifestyle and treatment decisions.
The BUZUD Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system tracks your glucose levels continuously throughout the day and night.Here’s how it works:An automatic applicator inserts a very thin sensor wire just beneath the skin.An adhesive patch secures the sensor in place.The sensor continuously measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid 24/7.A small, reusable transmitter attaches to the sensor and wirelessly sends real-time glucose readings to your compatible smart device (such as a smartphone).Through the BUZUD App, you can view your current glucose levels and historical trends at any time.The app can also be customized to send personalized alerts when your glucose levels go above or below preset thresholds.BUZUD CGM provides continuous, real-time glucose insights, helping you manage your blood sugar more confidently and proactively.
BUZUD CGMs Readings vs. Blood Glucose MetersWhether you're new to BUZUD CGMs or have used it before, it's important to review the product instructions carefully before use. Until you're confident in how BUZUD CGMs performs for you, continue using your blood glucose meter (BG meter) for treatment decisions.Your BG meter will give you one result. If you test again—whether with the same or a different meter—you may get a different value. Meanwhile, your BUZUD CGMs may show a third number. So, how should you interpret these differences?Understanding AccuracyLab-based glucose tests conducted by healthcare professionals are considered more accurate than any at-home device. In clinical studies, both blood glucose meters and BUZUD CGMs are evaluated by comparing their readings to lab results—not to each other.As a result, BUZUD CGMs readings may not match your meter exactly, but they should be close. You can compare them using what’s called the "20 Rule" (also known as the 20/20 rule) to determine how closely they align.What Is the 20 Rule?To apply the 20 Rule:Locate your meter reading in the center column of the chart;The left column (CGMs –) shows the lowest expected CGMs reading;The right column (CGMs +) shows the highest expected CGMs reading.For example, if your meter reading is 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL), then any BUZUD CGMs reading between 4.4 and 6.7 mmol/L (80 to 120 mg/dL) would be considered an acceptable match.Best Practices for Fingerstick TestingTo ensure accurate meter readings:Store your test strips as directed and check expiration dates;Wash your hands with soap and water (not hand sanitizer), dry thoroughly, and then test.Situations That May Cause Temporary MismatchesFirst Day of Sensor Use: Readings from a newly inserted sensor may initially vary more from meter values. Accuracy typically improves within the first 24 hours.Rapid Glucose Changes: During rapid fluctuations, readings may differ because your meter reflects blood glucose levels, while CGMs measure glucose in interstitial fluid, which lags behind slightly. As glucose levels stabilize, readings will better align.Sensor Compression: Pressure on the sensor (e.g., lying on it while sleeping) can affect accuracy. Once the pressure is relieved, readings usually return to normal.When Should You Consider Calibration?Observe your CGMs readings over several hours. If they consistently read higher or lower than your meter and fall outside the 20 Rule, calibration may help.You may also calibrate if your CGMs readings don’t match how you feel, but your meter results do.Calibration GuidelinesBUZUD CGMs does not require routine calibration. Although calibration may bring readings closer to your meter values, it doesn’t always improve accuracy relative to lab standards.If you decide to calibrate:Enter the fingerstick value within 5 minutes of testing;Avoid calibration during a "Sensor self-check" status.How to Manually Use the 20 RuleBUZUD CGMs readings are considered accurate when:If the meter value is ≥ 4.4 mmol/L (80 mg/dL), the CGMs reading is within ±20%;If the meter value is < 4.4 mmol/L (80 mg/dL), the CGMs reading is within ±1.1 mmol/L (20 mg/dL).Important NoteThis information is intended for BUZUD CGMs users. Please consult your healthcare provider or local guidance for specific usage instructions.
BUZUD Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems (CGMs) support manual calibration, but in most cases, calibration is not required for accurate performance. Our systems are designed to provide a seamless experience without the need for fingerstick calibration. Manual calibration is available as an optional feature.When Should You Consider Calibration?If your BUZUD CGM reading differs from a fingerstick blood glucose value by less than 20%, this is considered within the normal range.If the difference falls between 20% and 30%, manual calibration may improve accuracy.Note: Once you initiate manual calibration, the system will continuously adjust future readings based on your input.When Should Calibration Be Avoided?To ensure system stability and avoid potential malfunctions, do not calibrate in the following situations. Incorrect calibration can significantly reduce CGM accuracy and may even result in reading failures or device damage:When the Sensor Is Under PressureIf the sensor site is being compressed by clothing, body position, or external force, glucose values may be temporarily inaccurate. Calibrating under these conditions may cause the system to adjust based on incorrect data, leading to long-term inaccuracy or damage to internal algorithms.During Rapid Glucose ChangesAfter meals, during exercise, or following insulin injections, blood glucose levels may change rapidly. CGM readings have a physiological delay. Calibrating at these times can mislead the system into learning inaccurate trends, potentially causing persistent data distortion or sensor malfunction.When Up or Down Arrows Are DisplayedArrows indicate rapid glucose movement and an unstable state. Calibrating during these moments may result in system errors or device lock-up due to the sensor's inability to reconcile the trend.During Sensor Error MessagesIf the system shows "Sensor self-check" or "No sensor," do not calibrate. The sensor is not in a stable data collection state, and forcing a calibration may corrupt internal calibration parameters or require premature sensor replacement.Frequent or Unnecessary CalibrationBUZUD CGMs are designed with automated calibration mechanisms. Excessive manual input may disrupt internal algorithms, leading to erratic glucose curves, false alerts, or incorrect readings. Only calibrate when absolutely necessary, and preferably under guidance from a healthcare professional.Things to Know Before Calibrating:Wash and dry your hands with soap and water before testing. Avoid alcohol wipes or hand sanitizer, as they may interfere with accuracy.Enter the value within 5 minutes of fingerstick testing to ensure the reading reflects your current glucose level.Only use fingertip blood glucose values. Alternate sites (e.g., forearm) may yield inaccurate results.Acceptable calibration values range from 2.0 to 25.0 mmol/L. Values outside this range will not be accepted.If you receive a "Calibration Failed" message, repeat the fingerstick and try calibrating again.How to Calibrate Your BUZUD CGMUsing the BUZUD App (for models that support calibration):Open the BUZUD App and go to the CGM page.Tap the "Calibrate" button on the screen.Enter the blood glucose value from your fingertip test and follow the on-screen instructions to complete calibration.BUZUD CGMs are built to deliver a convenient and accurate glucose monitoring experience. Unless necessary, we recommend relying on automatic sensor readings without frequent manual adjustments. For any questions, please contact BUZUD support or consult a healthcare professional.
The BUZUD CGM system has not been tested under defibrillation conditions or in patients using pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Currently, there is no data to determine whether an electrical shock would affect CGM performance or reliability.If a patient receives a shock, it is recommended to closely observe the performance of the BUZUD CGM. If the CGM readings do not match symptoms or expectations, please perform a blood glucose (BG) check using a standard fingerstick method.Additionally, the pacemaker manufacturer should be consulted to confirm whether the device has been tested for resistance to Bluetooth signals in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and to see if any specific recommendations or precautions are provided.⚠️ Always follow professional medical advice and the guidance of your device manufacturer when using electronic medical devices together.
Compared to traditional Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG), BUZUD CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) systems provide much more comprehensive and continuous glucose data.For BUZUD CGM users, accuracy is evaluated based on comparisons with traditional fingerstick blood glucose values. However, it’s important to note that fingerstick testing can be affected by various factors such as timing, technique, and consistency during blood collection.In summary, while occasional differences between BUZUD CGM and meter readings may occur, BUZUD CGM offers real-time glucose trends and continuous monitoring, empowering users to manage their glucose more effectively and make informed decisions throughout the day.

BUZUD CGM users aged 2 and above can choose from the following sensor insertion sites:Abdomen or back of the upper armWe recommend choosing areas with a good amount of subcutaneous fat and minimal muscle movement to ensure comfort and stable glucose monitoring.Helpful TipsAvoid areas near the navel, bony prominences, or areas with skin folds.Rotate insertion sites with each sensor change to minimize the risk of skin irritation.
1. Select Implantation SiteThe image shows choosing the back of the upper arm as the implantation site for the CGM device.2. Disinfect the Skin SurfaceUse an alcohol wipe or disinfectant cloth to clean the surface of the skin on the back of the upper arm to ensure it is sanitized.3. Prepare the Insertion DeviceRemove the CGM insertion device from its packaging, open it as shown, and inspect the device to ensure it's ready for use.4. Position the Insertion DevicePlace the insertion device firmly against the skin, ensuring the device is aligned with the selected implantation site.5. Initiate InsertionPress the button on top of the insertion device to activate it, inserting the sensor beneath the skin.6. Remove the Insertion DeviceAfter insertion, remove the insertion device, leaving the sensor properly installed on the skin.
One possible reason is that the sensor may be under pressure while you're sleeping, which can cause the BUZUD CGM to report lower glucose readings. Once the pressure is relieved, the readings usually return to values that are closer to your fingerstick results.To avoid this issue, choose a sensor site that is less likely to be bumped, compressed, or laid on during sleep.If the readings do not return to normal after relieving the pressure, consider doing a calibration when your blood glucose trend is stable to help the system regain accuracy.
