Why it matters
Type 2 diabetes means the body struggles to keep blood sugar at a healthy level. Most people with it take pills, not insulin injections, and are usually not offered these sensors. This trial suggests that simply seeing your own blood sugar numbers all day can help you eat and move in ways that bring them down. One honest caution: the company that makes the sensors paid for the study, and in many countries these sensors are expensive or not covered by health insurance.Translated why_it_matters keeping the industry-funding caveat and insurance-coverage caution intact
Who's behind it: Tamara K. Oser and colleagues, 22 primary care practices across the United States. Funded by Dexcom, the company that makes the glucose sensors being tested.
