Abstract

Full realization of the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) depends on addressing barriers such as cost, accuracy, burdens of daily use, and uncertainty about applying the data. Lack of systematic education has also hampered widespread adoption among patients and health care professionals. This article describes the practical application of an affordable and intuitive category of CGM called “flash” that requires users to scan the sensor with a handheld reader for on-demand access to continuous data. The data may be used for in-the-moment therapy adjustment, retrospective review of glucose patterns, and observation of glucose trending in response to behavior. Higher rates of flash CGM scanning have been associated with increased time in the glycemic target range and reduced time in hyper- and hypoglycemia. Growing interest in this technology suggests new opportunities for helping more patients incorporate CGM into their daily self-care.
