April 21, 2025Study Shows Additive Effect of CGM and Semaglutide in People with T2D
Among semaglutide users with T2D, use of CGM was associated with greater decreases in A1c compared to non-CGM users, regardless of insulin therapy. Reductions in A1c were greater for CGM users (-0.85%) compared to the control group (-0.29%) in the overall cohort (differences-in-differences (DID), -0.55%, P<0.0001). The proportion of CGM and semaglutide users who met…
