Primary Care-Led Continuous Glucose Monitoring Improves Diabetes Outcomes

New research indicates that continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be effectively initiated by primary care clinicians for patients with insulin-treated diabetes. The study found that this approach led to a significant and sustained reduction in A1c levels, alongside fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits over three years. This suggests a valuable expansion of CGM use beyond endocrinology referrals, potentially improving diabetes management accessibility.
