Who should be wearing a CGM device?

You may have seen people wearing a small white disk on their upper arm. It's likely it was a "CGM" or continuous glucose monitoring device.In Australia, only people with type 1 diabetes can access subsidies for these devices, but there is hope this may be extended in the future.Research comparing the use of these devices, with self-monitoring of glucose levels, strengthens the case for use of CGM devices for people living with type 2 diabetes.Guest/sAssociate Prof Emma Wilmot, University of Nottingham School of Medicine ReferencesContinuous glucose monitoring versus self-monitoring of blood glucose in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a randomised, multicentre, open-label, superiority trialDiabetes Australia statement
