Continuous glucose monitors may help people with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin, and could fit into routine clinic care.
This study looked at whether wearable continuous glucose monitors help people with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin keep their blood sugar in a healthier range.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is well established for people who use insulin, but its use in non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes is less common. This quality improvement project explored CGM use within an endocrinology clinic in Los Angeles County.
The team reviewed eligible patients’ HbA1c and time-in-range over six months to understand the potential benefit and whether CGM can be feasibly adopted in everyday practice.
