How to Set Up Your Glu-Chek CGM in 3 Easy Steps

Managing diabetes effectively begins with the right tools. The Glu-Chek Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system is designed for ease of use, comfort, and accuracy. Follow these three simple steps to get started on your journey toward smarter diabetes care.

Step 1: Prepare Your Sensor Site

Before applying the sensor, wash your hands and choose a clean, flat area—usually the back of the upper arm or lower abdomen. Use an alcohol swab to disinfect the skin and let it dry fully. Peel back the sensor adhesive and apply it gently but firmly to ensure secure attachment.

Step 2: Activate Your Sensor with the Glu-Chek App

Download the Glu-Chek mobile app from the App Store or Google Play. Create your profile and select “Activate Sensor.” Hold your smartphone near the sensor to scan the built-in NFC tag. This will pair the device and begin real-time glucose tracking.

Step 3: Monitor in Real-Time

After activation, your glucose data will be available within minutes. Set personalized alerts for highs and lows, view trend graphs, and share your readings with your healthcare provider directly through the app. For first-time users, a full guide and video tutorial are also available in our Support section.

Tip: Always keep an extra sensor and your mobile charger on hand for uninterrupted monitoring.
