"Recent clinical evidence clearly supports that insulin pump therapy combined with continuous glucose monitoring improves patients' A1C while reducing the relative risk of severe hypoglycemia," said William Tamborlane, M.D., professor of pediatrics and chief of pediatric endocrinology at Yale University School of Medicine. "Advances such as predictive alerts and smaller basal delivery rates can help physicians and patients customize therapy to meet individual needs. This ultimately simplifies some of the complexity of daily diabetes management."
There is a growing body of clinical evidence that continues to prove that the more often patients use Personal CGM, the greater average glucose control (A1C) they can achieve without increasing hypoglycemia, including the JDRF-Funded Studies and REAL TREND Study.2,3 Today, insulin pumps are covered by nearly all commercial and government insurance programs in the United States, and nearly 90 percent of type 1 diabetes patients with commercial insurance coverage have access to CGM when medical criteria is met. Personal CGM is approved for use by people ages 7 and older in the United States.
