Beyond A1C: Can CGM Help Prevent Severe Hypoglycemia and DKA?

Person using a continuous glucose monitor to track glucose levels and help prevent severe hypoglycemia and DKA.

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 …

Are Wearables Redefining Prediabetes — or Over-Medicalizing It?

Person using wearable glucose monitoring technology and smartphone app to track metabolic health and prediabetes risk

Prediabetes has traditionally been diagnosed during annual physical exams through fasting glucose tests or A1C measurements. However, new diabetes prevention tools and wearable technologies are rapidly changing that model. Today, wearable devices, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and predictive metabolic tracking tools are giving people real-time insight into their glucose patterns …
