CGMS use is on the uptake as more and more insurers, including Medicare, see the value of constant knowledge of glucose levels and trending changes that can help prevent hypo- and hyperglycemia before they occur. There is no doubt that CGMS will eventually replace finger sticks for many patients as we move forward.

In item #2, Michael shares info on how “time in range” can be very valuable in reducing the risk of vascular complications in our patients.
