After CGM, Is Continuous Lactate Monitoring the Next Big Breakthrough?

A wearable continuous lactate monitoring sensor displayed alongside a smartphone showing real-time lactate and glucose data during exercise.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has fundamentally changed diabetes management by giving patients and clinicians access to real-time glucose data. As a result, treatment decisions have become more precise, and many people with diabetes now spend more time within their target glucose range. However, glucose represents only one part of the …

Should Patients Still Be Using Flash CGM? Navigating the Shift to Real-Time Monitoring

Patient with a continuous glucose monitor reviewing glucose data on a smartphone while transitioning from flash CGM to real-time CGM technology.

As diabetes technology continues to evolve, clinicians are increasingly faced with an important question: should patients still be using flash continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), or is it time to switch to real-time CGM? While flash CGM systems have significantly improved glucose monitoring and patient engagement over traditional fingerstick testing, real-time …

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 …
