For people with risk factors for diabetes [obesity, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, poor diet, smoking, pre-diabetes, family history] we already have a blood test to check for insulin resistance. It's a diabetes screening test called Hemoglobin A1c which measures your body's average blood glucose over the past 3 months. A continuous glucose monitor is therefore not necessary for these individuals, or for healthy individuals. Instead, the $200 per month spent on CGM could be directed towards nutrition counseling, weight loss meds, gym membership, fitness trainer, healthy food, etc. CGM is very important for people who are on insulin (type 1 diabetes and severe type 2 diabetes) and your licensed primary care physician can prescribe you a brand which is FDA approved and at least partially covered by health insurance. @AmDiabetesAssn @AmerMedicalAssn @ACPIMPhysicians #USPSTF @CaseyMeansMD
