EXPANDING THE ROLE OF CGM IN TYPE 2 DIABETES: INSIGHTS FROM GRAZIA ALEPPO, MD

Episode Summary

Grazia Aleppo, MD, recently joined the Medscape InDiscussion: Type 2 Diabetes podcast to discuss the expanding role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in type 2 diabetes management. During the discussion, she outlined how and when to use CGM, addressed patient resistance and highlighted its benefits in the management of gestational diabetes. Dr. Aleppo emphasizes that CGM should be standard for all insulin users, including those on basal or correction-only regimens, and advocated for its use in non-insulin-treated patients due to its behavioral impact and ability to improve glycemic control. Through various clinical experiences, Dr. Aleppo illustrated how CGM has empowered patients to reduce or eliminate insulin, improve lifestyle choices and better understand their glucose patterns.
