Recommended Glycemic Targets and Value of Routine Monitoring
The American Diabetes Association advises that routine glucose monitoring is crucial to enhancing clinical outcomes and attaining glycemic targets. Health experts note that routine blood glucose monitoring enables clinicians and patients to evaluate individual responses to selected therapy, identify factors that may affect blood glucose, assess whether glycemic targets are being safely achieved, and help ascertain whether therapy modifications are warranted.

Expanding Role of CGM Technology
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides a comprehensive picture of glucose fluctuations across time, and research shows that with improved glycemic control and subsequent decreases in hypoglycemic events, patients have improved clinical outcomes and overall health-related quality of life. CGM devices sense and relay glucose data to a mobile phone, smart watch, or receiver and, depending on the device, take measurements every 5 to 15 minutes. Read more.
