Abstract

This case report of a 30-year-old type 2 diabetic patient illustrates the advantages of using real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) in a primary care setting. The patient was successfully weaned off subcutaneous insulin injections over a period of two months and achieved even better time-in-range outcomes. The patient is empowered with more insight into his metabolic condition and is currently trying new techniques such as intermittent fasting to further improve his diabetes.
