Well, I would hope so.

intensified insulin treatment, but still had . . . .HbA1c of 8.1 percent or
greater. . . ."

Sure, a continuous glucose monitor would theoretically be a vast
improvement over what we have now. (In fact, it's the crucial "missing
piece," that, tied into an insulin pump, would result in the
long-sought "artificial pancreas.") But the technology hasn't really
advanced beyond the experimental stage. I understand that certain
glucose monitor/insulin pump combinations can provide up to 36 hours
"hands-free" operation. Big deal. If they can stretch this to 36
*days*, I'd be interested.
