Abstract
Over the last two decades, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has become a common self-monitoring strategy in type 1 diabetes (T1D). CGM, in which a minimally invasive, sensor-based device automatically measures and reports one's glucose levels up to every 5 min, improves hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), reduces the frequency of dysglycemia, improves quality of life, and is cost-effective for people living with T1D compared to self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG). CGM studies in type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been limited to date, especially those involving participants not requiring intensive insulin therapy.
