When you live with diabetes, glucose readings influence everyday choices: from food and exercise to conversations with your healthcare professional. That’s why accuracy matters when choosing a CGM.

But not all CGMs perform at the same level. So how do you identify a high-quality sensor you can trust?

anzCGM Standards: The new industry benchmark you shouldn’t overlook

Developed independently by leading diabetes organisations in Australia and New Zealand, the anzCGM Minimum Performance Standards define what good CGM accuracy, precision and performance should look like.^#

This framework helps people with diabetes and healthcare professionals understand what to expect from a high‑quality glucose sensor in both everyday use and clinical settings.

In Australia, not all registered CGMs currently meet anzCGM Standards.^#

What the anzCGM Standards mean for you

Confident diabetes management starts with trusted glucose readings. But quality can vary between CGMs, and it’s not always easy to tell the difference. That’s where the anzCGM Standards come in.

These standards set a clear industry benchmark for CGM performance and accuracy, providing a simple way to choose a sensor you can trust.  

By knowing your CGM meets the anzCGM Standards, you can trust the glucose data you rely on every day and make confident decisions about food, activity and medication.

So before choosing a CGM, ask the questions that matter:

• Does it meet the anzCGM Minimum Performance Standards?
• Is the sensor accurate and reliable?
• Is my personal data protected?
• Is there dedicated customer support?
• Is it backed by diabetes technology experience?

If you’re unsure if your current CGM meets the anzCGM Standards, speak with your healthcare professional.
