Using continuous glucose monitoring data in daily clinical practice

Abstract

Access to and use of glycemic data are central to optimal management of diabetes. Use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to guide the management of diabetes has increased dramatically thanks to improved ease of use, accuracy, and availability. Retrospective CGM data collected throughout the day and night allow clinicians to visualize glycemic patterns, and single-page summary views like the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) Report make rapid interpretation both feasible and intuitive. A systematic approach that integrates retrospective CGM-generated data at clinic visits and other clinical interactions with personal use of CGM data can optimize glycemic management.
