A new study found that participants reported improved glycemic control and improved quality of life with smartwatch-integrated, do-it-yourself continuous glucose monitoring.
A small study of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) found that smartwatch-integrated, do-it-yourself continuous glucose monitoring (DIY-CGM) improved the experience of diabetes self-management compared with intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM).
The qualitative study was published in the journal Diabetic Medicine and suggests that DIY-CGM, a less costly alternative to standard real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM), may reduce disease burden compared with isCGM.1 Patients reported that DIY-CGM made accessing glucose information easier and that DIY-CGM reduced self-management burden vs isCGM.
While rt-CGM is recommended in major guidelines for T1D management, the global uptake of rt-CGM has been slow due to...
