CGM stands for Continuous Glucose Monitoring, the newest and best way for people with diabetes to monitor their glucose levels. Simply put, a CGM is a patch that you can wear on your skin that allows the user to see their blood glucose level consistently, in real time. Someone with diabetes would be able to track what is happening to their glucose level continuously throughout the day. Not only do these devices show blood glucose readings, but they also provide predictive trends to show users where their blood glucoses are headed. Unlike the traditional glucometers on the market, you do not have to poke your finger, which is painful and burdensome.
The Ada High School track and field teams competed in the first day of the annual Northwest Conference championship meet at Crestview Thursday, May 12.

The Ada girls rank sixth after day one, with the Bulldog boys eighth. Columbus Grove leads both the boys and girls standings.
Most of the event finals take place when the meet resumes Saturday morning.
