Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

摘要

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a deficiency in physiological glucose control. The etiology of DM is traditionally attributed to defects in insulin secretion, sensitivity, or both. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes may be categorized into two major classes: type 1 and type 2. In type 1, absolute beta-cell destruction is remarkable, whereas a progressive loss of beta-cell function is seen in type 2. When left untreated, complications of DM may result in hyperglycemic emergencies, such as diabetic keto-acidosis, hyperglycemic hyper-osmolar syndrome, and severe hypoglycemia.
