1. A body attachable unit for continuous glucose measurement, the body attachable unit comprising:
a housing;
a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed inside the housing;
a sensor unit installed in the housing, wherein one end portion of the sensor unit outwardly protrudes from the housing to be inserted into a body when the housing contacts a skin, and an other end portion of the sensor unit is configured to be contactable to an electrical contact point of the PCB; and
a pressurizing operation module installed at the housing, the pressurizing operation module configured to pressurize the other end portion of the sensor unit to be contacted to the electrical contact point of the PCB,
wherein a pressure transforming unit configured to be transformable by being pressurized by the pressurizing operation module to be contacted to the electrical contact point of the PCB is formed at the other end portion of the sensor unit, the pressure transforming unit has a structure partially cut at the other end portion of the sensor unit, and a bridge unit is formed at a portion of the partially cut structure of the pressure transforming unit to connect the cut structure at the portion of the pressure transforming unit, and
wherein the pressure transforming unit has a first cut line formed to have a structure with a partially opened section and a second cut line surrounding the partially opened section of the first cut line at an outside of the first cut line.
