Dr. Jaiwant Rangi explains why finger-prick glucose checks miss the full picture. Continuous glucose monitoring captures 288 data points per day, showing your metabolic rhythm in real time. Insurance denials and misconceptions keep people from accessing technology that could change how they manage their health.

Driving without GPS or managing heart without an EKG. So you're literally trying to get a lot more snapshot to understand how your body's behaving so we can guide you the right way. CGM gives you 288 readings per day. In my earlier days when we were not doing CGM, and even now sometimes when the insurance is fighting with me or when the patients don't know enough about CGM and they're trying to argue, why do I need to go on it? When can I just do the finger prick? You don't know enough.
