Primary Care CGM Use Linked to Better Diabetes Management

A cohort study published in JAMA Network Open found that when primary care clinicians initiate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), it leads to significant improvements in HbA1c levels for adults with insulin-treated diabetes. The study also noted a substantial reduction in hospitalizations and emergency department visits. These findings advocate for wider implementation of CGM in primary care, particularly to benefit underserved populations and enhance diabetes outcomes.
