Randomized Trial Shows Continuous Glucose Monitoring Superior to Self-Monitoring for Type 2 Diabetes Management
A randomized trial has demonstrated that continuous glucose monitoring outperforms traditional self-monitoring in regulating glucose levels for patients with Type 2 diabetes on basal insulin and other drug therapies. The study compared outcomes in glucose control among these patients. Better results were observed with continuous glucose monitoring.
Substrate placeholder — needs review · Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0)A randomized trial has demonstrated that continuous glucose monitoring is superior to self-monitoring for managing glucose regulation in patients with Type 2 diabetes who are on basal insulin and drug therapies, @EricTopol reported. The trial comparison focused on patients receiving basal insulin combined with other drug treatments for Type 2 diabetes.
Continuous glucose monitoring showed better outcomes in glucose control compared to traditional self-monitoring methods.
