Modern Tools for Precision Diabetes Management at Rohit Diabetes Center

Diabetes management has advanced far beyond occasional fingerstick testing and multiple daily injections. At Rohit Diabetes Center, Andheri East, we offer Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS) and Insulin Pump Therapy to help patients achieve tighter glycemic control, fewer fluctuations, improved safety, and more lifestyle flexibility.

These technologies are especially valuable for patients seeking better metabolic outcomes under the supervision of Dr. Ragini Maheshwari, a specialist in modern diabetes care and insulin-based therapies.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS)

A Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is a small, wearable device that measures glucose levels 24/7, providing a dynamic view of how glucose levels change throughout the day and night.

How CGMS Works

A tiny sensor is placed just under the skin, where it measures glucose in the interstitial fluid and transmits readings every few minutes to a display device or smartphone. Many systems provide alerts for highs and lows, and detailed graphs for clinical decision-making.

Benefits of CGMS

CGMS offers insights that fingerstick tests and HbA1c cannot:

  • Tracks real-time glucose patterns
  • Reveals effects of meals, stress, sleep & exercise
  • Detects nocturnal highs and lows
  • Reduces hypoglycemia risk (especially in active individuals & pregnancy)
  • Improves insulin dose adjustment
  • Enhances treatment confidence and compliance

At Rohit Diabetes Center, CGMS is used both for short-term diagnostic evaluation and long-term diabetes management, depending on patient needs.

Insulin Pump Therapy

An Insulin Pump is a compact device that delivers insulin continuously, closely replicating the function of a healthy pancreas. It replaces the need for multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) and offers more precise insulin delivery.

How the Pump Works

Insulin is delivered via a soft cannula placed under the skin. Dosing is divided into:

Basal insulin: continuous small amounts throughout the day

Bolus insulin: for meals or corrections

Some pumps also integrate with CGMS to enable closed-loop systems or smart insulin delivery.

Benefits of Insulin Pump Therapy

  • Better control of post-meal glucose spikes
  • Reduced glucose variability
  • Flexibility with meal timing & physical activity
  • Fewer injections and better convenience
  • Integration with CGMS for advanced automation
  • Improved HbA1c in many pump users

This makes pump therapy especially valuable for individuals who require precision and lifestyle flexibility.
