Today we explore the evolution of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) — from the first professional CGM in 1999 to the advanced tech driving today’s AID systems, and how these devices changed patient lives along the way. Dr. Grazia Aleppo, a leading endocrinologist and early CGM believer, joins to discuss early CGM innovations, the challenges of adoption, and pivotal research that expanded global access. Plus, we look ahead to what the future of CGM technology might hold. Have you used any of these CGMs? Let us know what it was like in the comments on Youtube.
