Study shows CGMs better at controlling blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
Kaiser Permanente is touting a study demonstrating that using continuous glucose monitors offers better blood sugar control for patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) typically had better blood sugar control and fewer visits to the emergency room for hypoglycemia, the study found. The study was […]
Famed marathoner uses Abbott glucose sensor for training
Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge is using a glucose sensor modeled after Abbott Laboratories’ FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor to optimize his training regimen.

How CGM tech has advanced in the 21st century
The rapid evolution of the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) has brought flexibility and convenience to diabetes control. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have transformed how many people with diabetes manage blood sugar, but attempts to monitor blood glucose have a long history. Efforts to manage glucose kicked off in earnest when researchers began measuring glucose in […]
How continuous glucose monitors have transformed the diabetes landscape
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are among the most potent diabetes management tools to emerge in recent decades. FDA approved the first professional CGM in 1999, and the technology has evolved swiftly since then. Current models beam data via Bluetooth to smartphones (plus the Apple Watch) and the cloud, enabling patients to explore their blood glucose […]
