CGM’s – Who is it for?

CGM is potentially useful to anyone with diabetes but is especially useful if you use insulin. CGM can be very helpful to people on multiple daily injections as well as to pump users. Some CGM users report their CGM is as beneficial to their glucose control as having a pump. It helps if you are motivated as CGM takes a while to get used to, and is not always straightforward to use. It’s also worth remembering that you’ll still have to do finger stick blood tests as well. Indeed some people using CGM say they do more blood sticks than they used to.
