New research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy, Sept. 28–Oct. 2, shows that among people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices paired with daily quality-of-life ratings found that days with more widely fluctuating glucose readings (while still within safe limits) were followed by days with better quality of life than days with stricter control—suggesting the burden of stricter control could prevent individuals from enjoying various activities.
Fluctuating Glucose Levels May Enhance Quality of Life for Diabetics
New research presented at the EASD Annual Meeting indicates that for individuals with diabetes, fluctuating glucose levels may enhance daily well-being compared to strict glucose control. This finding could influence diabetes management strategies in Iran, where diabetes is a growing health concern.
