Diabetes is a significant chronic medical condition in the United States, affecting an estimated 34.2M people and totaling to around $327 billion in health costs. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications, further illnesses and even death if left untreated. The Drs. Vedala sit down with Deborah Peter, APRN-CNS of Norman Regional Endocrine Para/Thyroid Center to discuss the disease, and how continuous glucose monitoring can help patients keep their diabetes under control.
