Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) significantly improves glycaemic outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes patients compared to standard self-monitoring.
Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) can help you manage Type 2 Diabetes more effectively than traditional finger-prick tests. Studies show it can lower your average blood sugar (HbA1c) by 0.5-1.0%. While cost and insurance coverage can be hurdles, the real-time feedback helps you make better daily choices.
Clinical studies report HbA1c reductions ranging from 0.5–1.0% compared with standard self-monitoring methods.
