Article Synopsis
  • Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has improved diabetes care for outpatients, but access barriers still exist, notably due to racial disparities, cost, and a lack of specialized care.
  • The commentary reviews these barriers and discusses how addressing them can lead to better diabetes management and outcomes.
  • A proposed new care model suggests incorporating CGM use into patient discharge plans, which could improve health equity and reduce emergency care needs for individuals with diabetes.

Article Synopsis
  • Clinical trials indicate that using a mobile stroke unit (MSU) for prehospital management can lead to better outcomes for acute ischemic stroke patients who may need thrombolysis, but real-world data is limited.
  • This study aimed to compare the effects of prehospital MSU management versus standard emergency services (EMS) on patient disability levels at the time of hospital discharge.
  • The analysis included over 19,000 patients treated across multiple hospitals, revealing that those managed in an MSU had improved functional outcomes compared to those receiving standard EMS care.*
