What is the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS)?

Our Hunger Free Forever research center was the first in the world to utilize a remarkable new technology as a tool for understanding the increased appetite and frequent food cravings so typical of individuals who are struggling with their weight, and to then use this technology in helping overweight and obese people succeed in their weight-loss efforts. The technology, known as the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) from Medtronic MiniMed, has provided an amazing window through which one can view an overweight person's blood sugar on a continuous basis. The CGMS is an electronic diagnostic system that requires the insertion of a sensing catheter under the skin of the abdomen.

The sensing catheter contains a miniaturized electronic device that measures blood sugar and then sends this information every few seconds to a pager-sized computer module worn on the patient's belt for up to one week. The portable computer module translates and records blood sugar data, which can then be downloaded to the doctor's computer. A graph showing the average blood sugar reading every five minutes (288 blood sugar readings per day) can then be generated and studied in relationship to food intake, appetite, food cravings, hypoglycemic symptoms, medication, and exercise.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
