Can smartphone nudges reduce evening snacking in type 2 diabetes? Explore new CGM research, early results, and implications for personalized care.

Discover why parenteral nutrition complicates insulin dosing and how CGM-guided adjustments improved glucose control in a small clinical study.

New research examines CGM accuracy in hypoxia, including Dexcom G6 and FreeStyle Libre performance during reduced oxygen exposure.

Could continuous glucose monitoring do more than improve glucose levels and help prevent hypoglycemia? New research raises that possibility. A large observational study examining CGM use and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes found that starting continuous glucose monitoring was associated with a lower risk of death among older …

Managing glucose is rarely simple for people with Type 2 diabetes who receive maintenance hemodialysis. Dialysis can change glucose patterns, insulin needs, and the reliability of familiar measures such as A1C. As a result, clinicians may have an incomplete picture when making treatment decisions. New randomized research on CGM use …

A1C is one of the most useful tools in diabetes care, but it has an important limitation: it takes time to reflect change. Could a faster-moving marker help clinicians know sooner whether treatment is working? New randomized research on glycated albumin in diabetes offers an intriguing answer. Glycated albumin reflects …

Continuous glucose monitoring has changed how clinicians and people with diabetes think about glucose control. Yet the next question is more important than whether CGM improves A1C or Time in Range. Can it prevent events that send patients to the emergency department or hospital? Growing evidence suggests that CGM may …

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps can transform diabetes management, but the technology only works when patients can comfortably keep wearing it. CGM skin irritation can turn a valuable device into a daily source of itching, redness, pain, or damaged skin. In some cases, the reaction becomes severe enough …

For millions of people living with diabetes, checking blood sugar remains a daily routine that often involves fingersticks or wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with a tiny sensor inserted beneath the skin. Although CGMs have dramatically improved diabetes management, many people still hope for a truly needle-free alternative. That …

Imagine screening for diabetes as easily as breathing into a handheld device. That idea is rapidly moving from research laboratories toward clinical reality. Scientists are developing breath tests for diabetes that analyze tiny molecules in exhaled air to identify early metabolic changes long before traditional symptoms develop. Although blood glucose …
