Use of flash glucose-sensing technology for 12 months as a replacement for blood glucose monitoring in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes

The authors find that use of flash glucose-sensing technology for glycemic management in patients with type 2 diabetes treated by insulin was associated with a sustained reduction in hypoglycemia and safely and effectively replaced self-monitoring of blood glucose. Haak T, et al. Diabetes Ther 2017;8:573–586. doi:10.1007/s13300-017-0255-6
