Continuous Glucose Monitoring-Guided Self-Management Leads to Diabetes Remission in a Newly Diagnosed Overweight...

We report the case of a newly diagnosed overweight patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who achieved diabetes remission using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which promotes patient engagement in self-management. Key measures included selection of a patient newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, use of CGM, analysis of glucose trends and contributing factors, and patient guidance in maintaining a health diary and developing personalized self-management strategies (e.g., dietary modification and exercise regimens). Following 6-month CGM-guided self-management, the patient's glycated hemoglobin level decreased from 7.3% at baseline to 6.0% and his body weight decreased from 83 to 77 kg, a 7% reduction; thus, the patient met the criteria for diabetes remission.
