Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study checked if using a continuous glucose monitor helps protect kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes. It compared people who used the device with those who did not. It is an observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. Better blood sugar control is key for kidney health.
