Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), an integral tool in diabetes care, was associated with a reduced likelihood of developing diabetic retinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).1
The retrospective cohort study involved a diverse population of adults with T1D who had consultations at an academic tertiary diabetes center and ophthalmology center between 2013 and 2021.
