Summary

Continuous glucose monitors can help people with diabetes avoid blood sugar levels that are either dangerously high or low. This study evaluates whether continuous glucose monitoring after discharge from the emergency room can help people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes avoid repeat emergency room visits, achieve improved blood sugar control, and feel less distressed about managing their diabetes.
