This nice article about CGM use in hospitals due to Covid was suggested in my Google Alerts: > **[How Covid-19 could usher in a new role for continuous glucose monitoring](https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/24/continuous-glucose-monitoring-cgm-hospitals/)** > > The FDA allowed hospitals to start monitoring blood sugar using CGMs during the pandemic. Early research suggests it's improving outcomes. ---
