    The therapeutic objectives of managing type 1 and 2 diabetes include: eliminating symptoms associated with hyperglycemia, preventing long-term complications, and promoting a better lifestyle. To achieve these objectives, it is essential that the physician sets individualized targets for glycemic control, this being the regulation and management of blood glucose levels within the therapeutic goals considered for each individual. Advances in technology using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices have emerged as a promising tool, measuring glucose in the interstitial fluid every 1-5 minutes by sensors under the skin. The main objective of this article was to review the available literature on Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems applied in the glycemic control of patients with Diabetes Mellitus to identify their practical utility. A review of the available literature was conducted with a descriptive approach, using databases such as PubMed, Springer, and Science Direct. The results obtained from the 22 articles that were included confirmed the increasing evidence about the benefits of using continuous glucose monitoring systems in glycemic control in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. The results support the Incorporation of CGM as part of the standard of care in diabetes management and control, especially in patients with insulin use or those with high glycemic variability.
