“Get Fit with a continuous glucose monitor. Ditch the scale. Get a CGM.” Is this the next big thing?  We all love gadgets and everyone wants to find that missing piece that will help them get to their goals.  Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM for short) is what we are going to be talking about today and this is such an interesting topic!

CGM is not a brand new technology-it has been available commercially since 2000 to help people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar, medications, and prevent hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar that can be fatal).  It is actually pretty cool-a small sensor is inserted under your skin usually in the arm or mid-section. The sensor continually tests your blood sugar and wirelessly transmits the information to your smartphone or other device. Some systems automatically adjust medication based on the reading. Many will alert a patient or caregiver if blood sugar is getting too low. These are great little machines that are associated with improving the outcomes of diabetes, such as better Hgb A1c levels and decreased bouts of hypoglycemia. However, are they useful, necessary and worth the money for people without diabetes? Today, we will have a discussion about what information we have so you can make an informed choice.
