CGMs Improve Control and Reduce Hypos
Posted on Sep 11, 2009
Two major JDRF-funded studies in the US have shown that continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) deliver better diabetes control with regular use for all age groups, while also reducing the frequency of hypoglycemia, or dangerously low blood glucose levels that can lead to coma or death.
The first study showed that regular use of CGMs is the main factor in achieving better diabetes control, rather than the age of people using the monitors, or other demographic, clinical, or psychosocial factors. The second study showed that people using CGMs were able to achieve good diabetes control while at the same time actually lowering the incidence of hypoglycemia.
