Continuous Glucose Monitor News
On September 8, an article appeared on the New England Journal of Medicine web site. It was an article about something I already knew: the use of a continuous glucose monitor improves blood glucose control for adults with type 1 diabetes.
The article is about a study funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). According to the JDRF, the study found that “people with type 1 diabetes who used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices to help manage their disease experienced significant improvements in blood sugar control.”
Here’s a link to the article in the New England Journal of Medicine:
Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Intensive Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes
and here’s a link to a summary from the JDRF. I found it much easier to read:
