Patterns of One-Year Change in HbA1c and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Metrics in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes.
October 5, 2026 · Clinical chemistry
Key takeaway
This study found that for older adults with diabetes, A1C and continuous glucose monitors (CGM) often showed different pictures of blood sugar control. This matters because Black adults have higher rates of diabetes, and using both A1C and CGM together gives a clearer, more complete look at how well blood sugar is managed.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in metabolic helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
