ADA Standards of Medical Care: Recommendations for Continuous Glucose Monitoring
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Medical Care represent the latest evidence-based recommendations for guiding clinical practice. According to the most recent edition of these guidelines, Level A evidence from the MOBILE study supports the use of real time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) in patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) regardless of regimen. The findings from the MOBILE study likewise demonstrate the value of rtCGM across typically underserved demographics of patients impacted by social determinants of health (SDOH). Taking the ADA recommendations into consideration, payers are formulating coverage policies that facilitate appropriate access to rtCGM, improved outcomes in T2D, and proven per-member-per-month (PMPM) cost savings.
