CGM Users on Basal Insulin Show 45% Lower One-Year Mortality Risk

Europe – October 27, 2026 -- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was associated with a 45% lower risk of death at one year among adults with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin, according to a study presented at the 2026 European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting.

The analysis used Truveta Data to track nearly 28,000 adults with type 2 diabetes receiving basal insulin therapy. Researchers combined longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) and mortality data in a target trial emulation that compared CGM users with non-users.
