The Power of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Children and Adults: Results
from Two Studies Using the Freestyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring
System



Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is an emerging technology that offers
significant utility in managing diabetes. Recent studies continue to
demonstrate the efficacy and clinical utility of this new technology in
reducing hypoglycemia, improving overall glycemic control and enhancing
patient quality of life.







Making a Difference in Diabetes Self- Management with Novel Decision Support
Tools



Diabetes Mellitus is a worldwide epidemic that results in significantly
increased rates of morbidity and mortality. The oxidative stress associated
with chronic hyperglycemia is implicated in the progression of diabetes-
associated comorbid conditions. Studies of selfmonitoring of blood glucose
strongly suggest that self-monitoring provides useful data to help patients
manage their diabetes, regardless of their method of treatment. Studies also
suggest that improved glycemic control may reduce the morbidity, mortality,
and healthcare costs associated with diabetes. This educational activity
provides insight into diabetes management with established and novel
technologies that help clinicians and patients optimize glycemic control.
