About The Study: In this cohort study of adults with insulin-treated diabetes, initiation of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) by primary care clinicians was associated with clinically meaningful improvements in HbA1c and significant reductions in recurrent hospitalizations and emergency department visits. These findings support expanding CGM implementation in primary care settings as a scalable strategy to improve diabetes outcomes and reduce acute care utilization, particularly in underserved populations.
