Information is critical in the war against diabetes. Technology has made it easier to track data and make quick changes. This is great news for those who are new to the disease, as well as those that have been fighting for years, or even decades. These are just a few ways data is changing the way we are treating diabetes today.

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)

CGMs are all the rage today for good reason. No longer do you need to prick your finger to find out your blood glucose levels. You simply need access to your smart phone app and the monitoring device to access your numbers and to share the numbers with your physician, so adjustments can be made instantly.

Insulin Pumps

Insulin pumps are instrumental in allowing you to adjust doses to meet your needs as they evolve. They provide a steady flow of insulin to help avoid blood sugar spikes, and can slow the flow to avoid dangerous lows.

The data obtained from these devices allows doctors to make more accurate dosing and insulin decisions that can provide better results, ensuring better long and short-term health as well as treatment outcomes for individuals with diabetes.
