Podcast Episode 16: CGM Insights - Unveiling Cutting-Edge Clinical Evidence for Type 2 Diabetes Management

Guest Speaker: Maggie Crawford, MPH, PhD

Real-time real talk is intended for healthcare professionals in the US.

In this episode, host Cher Pastore speaks to Maggie Crawford, senior manager of translational and behavioral data science at Dexcom, to discuss findings from a few studies Dr. Crawford was presenting at ADA.

The first study, titled "Exploring the Impact of CGM on Perceived Control and Non-Intensive Insulin Treated Type Two Diabetes", explored how CGM use influenced individuals' perceptions of control over their diabetes. Participants monitored their glucose levels with Dexcom's CGM system over a three month period with no behavioural support.

The second study investigated the impact of Dexcom's G6 real-time CGM on glucose metrics, self-reported body weight, and psychosocial health among customers living with type two diabetes and taking basal insulin.
