摘要

Purpose of Review

This review summarizes recent evidence on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), focusing on clinical effectiveness, patient-reported outcomes, disparities in use, and policy and economic considerations.

Recent Findings

Studies from 2020 to 2025 show that CGM use in T2D is associated with consistent improvements in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), time in range, and diabetes self-management across insulin and non-insulin treatment regimens. Emerging observational data suggest reductions in mortality and health care utilization, and cost-effectiveness analyses consistently demonstrate that CGM represents a high-value intervention across payer settings. Despite these benefits, CGM uptake remains variable, with persistent disparities by age, race, and ethnicity, insurance coverage, and care setting.

Summary

CGM is an effective and cost-effective tool for T2D management, but inequities in access limit its impact. Future research should address implementation in safety-net and primary care settings, evaluate over-the-counter CGM, and assess long-term clinical and health system outcomes.
