How Can Your Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Benefit from CGM Technology?

Clinical Evidence Shows Improved A1c, Time in Range, and Protection Against Hypoglycemia For All Type 2 Patients, Regardless of Medication Regimen

In this video you will learn about:

✔ Increased time in range and protection against hypoglycemic events

✔ Enhanced patient engagement in diet, exercise, and medication adherence

✔ Seamless integration with insulin pumps for automated insulin delivery (30% of insulin-using Type 2 patients now use hybrid closed-loop systems)

✔ Real-time glucose insights that drive better patient decisions about lifestyle modifications

✔ Broad insurance coverage for any Type 2 patient on insulin therapy, even just one daily injection

Continuous glucose monitoring represents a paradigm shift in Type 2 diabetes management, with over 500 clinical trials demonstrating consistent benefits across patient populations. This technology provides unparalleled glucose data that transforms how patients understand and manage their condition, whether they have pre-diabetes, take oral medications alone, or use any insulin regimen. Available options include the Dexcom G7, Abbott Libre, Eversense 365 implantable sensor, and over-the-counter solutions like Abbott Lingo and Dexcom Stelo for non-insulin users, offering valuable insights. For insulin-using patients with type 2 diabetes, CGM serves as the foundation for modern hybrid closed-loop systems from Medtronic 780G, Insulet Omnipod 5, Tandem Control IQ and others that are available on the market, improving clinical outcomes while providing actionable insights into how daily choices affect glucose levels, making it standard of care for any Type 2 patient using insulin.
