What Makes BeatO CGM Different

Automatic Minute-by-Minute Monitoring

Unlike traditional glucose meters that require multiple finger pricks throughout the day, or even some CGM systems that need manual scanning, the BeatO CGM automatically records and transmits your glucose levels every minute. This means you get 1,440 glucose readings per day without lifting a finger—literally.1

true Continuous Monitoring Technology

The BeatO CGM uses advanced sensor technology to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid (the fluid between your cells) just beneath your skin. This continuous measurement provides a complete picture of your glucose trends, including how your levels respond to meals, exercise, stress, and sleep—insights that occasional finger-stick testing simply cannot provide.2

No Calibration Required

Many glucose monitoring systems require regular finger-stick calibration to maintain accuracy. The BeatO CGM eliminates this requirement entirely, providing factory-calibrated accuracy throughout the sensor's 15-day lifespan without any finger pricks needed.

Seamless Bluetooth Connectivity

The sensor transmits data wirelessly to your smartphone via Bluetooth, ensuring your glucose information is always accessible. The BeatO App displays your current reading, trend arrows showing whether glucose is rising or falling, and comprehensive graphs showing your patterns over time.
