1. A sensor applicator assembly for a continuous blood glucose monitor, wherein the sensor applicator assembly is assembled as a single unitary product in a state in which a sensor module configured to measure blood glucose is inserted in an inside of an applicator, and the sensor module is configured to be outwardly ejected to be attached to a body according to operation of the applicator, wherein:
a separate protective cap is detachably coupled to the applicator to block the sensor module from being exposed externally in the state in which the sensor module is inserted in the inside of the applicator,
a locking member is included in the protective cap to prevent the protective cap from being separated from the applicator in a state that the protective cap is coupled to the applicator, and
the locking member is configured to be locked or unlocked according to manipulation of a user,
wherein the protective cap comprises:
an outer cover covering an outer circumferential surface of the applicator and coupled to an end portion of the applicator;
an extension extending from one end portion of the outer cover in a direction of an inner center of the applicator; and
an inner support extending upward from one end portion of the extension to be inserted in the inside of the applicator.
