Continuous glucose monitoring for diabetes
A continuous glucose monitor measures glucose in the fluid beneath your skin, called interstitial fluid. A blood glucose meter measures a blood sample. CGM readings show how glucose changes over time, helping you and your health professional review patterns around meals, activity and sleep.
The SIBIONICS GS3 is intended for people aged 3 years and older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Your diabetes health professional can help you decide whether this device suits your needs and explain how to use its readings within your care plan.

Frequently asked questions about CGMs
Can I use a CGM for type 2 diabetes?
The GS3's intended use includes type 2 diabetes, as well as type 1 diabetes, from age 3. Suitability depends on your individual circumstances; discuss your choice with your diabetes health professional.
Will I still need finger-prick blood glucose checks?
Yes, finger-prick checks may still be needed. Sensor glucose can differ from blood glucose, particularly when levels change quickly. If a reading seems wrong or does not match your symptoms, check with a finger-prick blood glucose test and follow the device instructions.
How long does a CGM sensor last?
Wear time varies by device. Each SIBIONICS GS3 sensor is designed for up to 14 days of use; a multi-pack contains separate sensors for successive wear periods.
Are CGMs subsidised in Australia?
Subsidies depend on eligibility and the specific device. Check the NDSS continuous glucose monitoring access information for current requirements and available products. A retail listing does not establish subsidy eligibility.
