Remote Monitoring Devices as the Foundation of Virtual Diabetes Care
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have revolutizized diabetes self-management over the paste decade. Devices such as the Dexcom G6 andG7, Abbott Freestyle Libre serie, and Medtronic Guardian sensors send glucose readings every five minutes to a smartphone, smartwatch, or dedicated recver.

Continuous Monitoring Enables Earlier Intervention
Perhaps the most transformativa benefitif of telemedicine is thee ability to monitour patients continuously between visits.
