“When he saw his own fluctuating blood glucose on the
computer after having used the glucose sensor for three
days, he suddenly seemed to understand. Insulin doses
were adjusted, and he became more motivated to eat
regular meals with better content. HbA1c decreased
within a few months from 9.4% to 7.6%.”
– Excerpt from a case study of an 18-year old diabetes patient motivated by
continuous glucose monitoring to transform his poor self-management 13
