Adherence
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Flash Glucose Monitoring systems improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemia risk in patients with Type 2 Diabetes, particularly those on insulin therapy.
If you have Type 2 Diabetes and are on insulin, ask your doctor about Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) or Flash Glucose Monitoring systems. These devices provide real-time data on your blood sugar levels and trends, helping you and your doctor adjust your insulin doses more precisely and safely, reducing the risk of dangerous lows.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Recent technological developments offer useful ways to simplify glucose monitoring and increase the precision and safety of insulin therapy... Flash glucose monitoring is more expensive than SMBG 8.3 times per day in the UK, which is more frequently than the typical testing frequency seen in T2D patients... CGMs... can be used to circumvent the drawbacks of flash glucose monitoring and provide notifications without the need to physically scan a sensor.
Why this rating
Based on clinical trials and observational studies of CGM and Flash monitoring systems.
