Examining The Role of CGM in T2DM

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology has advanced the treatment of people with diabetes, however to date this technology had been primarily limited to use in patients treated with insulin. CGM is a powerful tool that has the potential to enhance the care of patients treated with agents other than insulin; however this has not been tested. The purpose of this study is to determine whether improved glycemic control can be achieved through the use of intensive, periodic CGM monitoring in patients with T2DM treated with oral anti-hyperglycemic drugs (OADs). The data gathered from this pilot study will be utilized to determine if a larger, clinical effectiveness study to assess use of CGM to improve clinical outcomes in patients with T2DM treated with OADs is warranted.
