An advance is making a big difference for people with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin: glucose flash monitoring systems.According to a study presented at the Congress of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI), these systems not only help improve diabetes control, but also prevent complications and generate significant savings for the health system.

The impact of flash monitoring systems is summarized with the following points:

  1. Prevention of hypoglycemia: These systems have avoided more than 9,000 minor hypoglycemia and 1,400 serious hypoglycemia a year in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin.
  2. Better adhesion: they facilitate real -time decision making by providing continuous information about glucose levels, helping patients achieve their glycemic objectives more easily.
  3. Economic savings: According to the study, the use of these devices can save more than 920 euros per patient per year, thanks to the reduction of costs associated with complications and hospital admissions.

A paradigm shift in diabetes management

A decade ago, capillary glucose automation (AMGC) was the only option available, forcing patients to perform multiple daily punctures.This generated discomfort and made it difficult to achieve good glycemic control.Today, flash and continuous monitoring systems have transformed the self -management of diabetes at:

  • Reduce the need for frequent punctures.
  • Offer detailed and real -time data to facilitate treatment adjustments.
  • Improve the quality of life by reducing the physical and emotional burden of traditional monitoring.

These systems are also revolutionizing telemedicine.The generated data can be integrated into the electronic medical history, providing health professionals with a more complete vision and allowing personalized advice.This encourages quality telemedicine that facilitates remote monitoring and reduces the need for face -to -face visits.

In Europe, diabetes -related health spending was 104 billion euros in 2021, and 75% of these costs are attributed to avoidable complications.If more people with type 2 diabetes had access to flash monitoring systems, not only complications would be avoided, but also the economic burden of the health system would also be relieved, improving long -term sustainability.

Glucose flash monitoring systems represent a significant advance in the management of type 2 diabetes, benefiting both patients and the health system.Its mass adoption not only improves the control of the disease, but also prevents complications and generates important economic savings.
