1. A body attachable device for continuous glucose measurement, the body attachable device configured to be attachable to a body by an applicator for the continuous glucose measurement, the body attachable device comprising:
a housing, wherein a bottom surface of the housing is to contact a skin;
a printed circuit board (PCB) including electric contact points and disposed inside the housing;
a sensor disposed within the housing, wherein one end portion of the sensor outwardly protrudes from the bottom surface of the housing to be inserted into the body when the housing contacts the skin by a first operation, and an other end portion of the sensor unit is configured to be contacted to the electric contact points; and
a contact point connecting module movably disposed between the sensor and the electric contact points to block contact between the sensor unit and the electric contact points,
wherein the one end portion of the sensor and a needle are inserted into the body and the needle is extracted from the body based on the first operation, and
wherein the contact point connecting module includes a movable plate configured to move to make a connection between the sensor and the electric contact points based on a second operation.
