| Popis: |
The efficacy of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to improve glycaemic control in individuals on intensive insulin therapy (basal and prandial) has been well established in several studies; however, there is limited evidence on its usage and efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who are on non-insulin therapies. Lifestyle modifications and glucose monitoring are essential components of the management of T2D. We report a case that demonstrates the impact of CGM use as an effective tool for patient education and motivation to implement and adhere to lifestyle modifications in improving glycaemic control in a patient with long-standing poorly controlled T2D who was on oral glucose-lowering medications. CGM use is associated with high level of patient satisfaction which can improve quality of life and has the potential to reduce long-term complications related to poor glycaemic control. These observations emphasise the need to broaden the use of CGM in this patient population. |
