Detection and Intervention: Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Early Stages of Type 2 Diabetes
Eden Miller, Kevin C. Miller
Abstract
The term "prediabetes" has been used to identify the state of abnormal glucose homeostasis (dysglycemia) that often leads to the development of clinical type 2 diabetes. However, this term does not describe the cellular changes that are already taking place in individuals with elevated glucose levels. This article describes our approach to detecting early dysglycemia using continuous glucose monitoring and explains how this approach can be integrated into clinical practice settings.
