Finger-stick blood glucose measurements provide a snapshot in time.
Continuous glucose monitoring gives patients with diabetes a bigger picture. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has emerged in the past decade as an important tool to gain insight into patients' glycemic patterns and trends. While self-monitoring of blood glucose with periodic finger sticks can capture glucose as a snapshot in time, CGM has the advantage of providing continuous measurements at 5- to 15-minute intervals.
This gives patients and their doctors much more data to work with as they tailor diets, lifestyle, and medications to manage diabetes. The benefits of CGM have been established in numerous studies of patients with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. They include improvement in A1C, reduction of hypoglycemic events, reduction of glycemic variability, and improvement in diabetes-related distress.1-4 This article outlines how to set up a CGM program in your practice and get paid for it.
