[Comments on 10.9 and 10.10] These two publications describe guidelines made by the international learned societies on the use of continuous glucose monitoring devices. It is important to learn from these publications that education and guidance are pivotal before continuous glucose monitoring should be made available and that its use should indeed be closely monitored by the professional diabetes team. Anxieties and psychological distress can then be prevented. It has been shown that in the long term those patients who actually use CGM continuously will benefit from it.
