The potential clinical benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have been recognized for many years, but CGM is used by a small fraction of patients with diabetes. One obstacle to greater use of the technology is the lack of simplified tools for assessing glycemic control from CGM data without complicated visual displays of data.
