Linx CGM has the sensor and transmitter combined in one device, so no separate transmitter is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">When installing the CGM, a small sensor is inserted under the skin through the applicator and fixed to the outer surface of the skin with a patch.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"block-txtmedia__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/xn--glkoosimonitor-hsb.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/22.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/xn--glkoosimonitor-hsb.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1350\/22-620x440-c.png\" class=\"attachment-txtmedia\" alt=\"Linx CGM gl\u00fckoosimonitor\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ama-block block-txtmedia reverse-order type-img-crop\"><div class=\"block__body\"><div class=\"block-txtmedia__content\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-el\">Displays glucose readings as a graph<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">After eating, glucose is absorbed from food into the blood and then into the interstitial fluid.
