In a Diabetes Spectrum article collection titled “Roadmaps to Continuous Glucose Monitoring’s Role in Transforming Diabetes Management,” experts, led by guest editor Dr. Richard M. Bergenstal, explore how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can revolutionize diabetes care. The collection outlines step-by-step processes for CGM implementation in key areas, emphasizing recent advances, addressing barriers, and envisioning a future where all can access transformative diabetes therapies. Access the collection at diabetesjournals.org/spectrum/pages/cgm_roadmaps for the latest insights on enhancing diabetes care.
