In this episode, we’re talking about a tiny little device that is life-changing for millions of people worldwide. To be specific: 425 million people suffering from diabetes. You might have seen them – small devices that people wear on their arms.

This technology is called Continuous Glucose Monitoring, or CGM. It allows diabetics to monitor their blood sugar levels without the need for traditional blood tests, making life easier, safer, and even more sustainable in a social sense.

But what does this mean for diabetics, and how has this technology evolved over the years? We’ll explore these questions today with our guest from Henkel, Sisay Getahun.








In this episode, you will learn:

  • Discover how Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices are transforming the lives of millions living with diabetes – and how Henkel contributes to this innovation.
  • Learn how CGMs work, the practical and emotional benefits they bring to users, and their growing appeal beyond diabetic communities.
  • Explore the future of CGM technology, from sustainability and accessibility to upcoming features that could reshape health monitoring for everyone.






Guest:



  • Sisay Getahun, Global Key Account Manager Medical Devices (AMI), Henkel Adhesive Technologies
