The Claim
Among adults with type 2 diabetes following a medically supervised ketogenic diet under remote care, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) does not significantly improve overall time in range (TIR) compared to blood glucose monitoring (BGM), but increases the likelihood of achieving stricter glucose targets of TIR >70% and time below 70 mg/dL <4%.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with type 2 diabetes on a ketogenic diet managed remotely, using continuous glucose monitoring does not change overall time spent in the target glucose range compared to traditional blood glucose testing, but it is associated with a higher chance of meeting stricter glucose targets, such as spending more than 70% of the time in range and less than 4% of the time below 70 mg/dL.

People using continuous glucose monitors see their blood sugar numbers all day long, so they can make small, quick changes to what they eat or do when their sugar starts to go too high or too low. This helps them stay within very tight limits more often, even if their average sugar level doesn’t change much.
What the research says
1 studyBoth groups got better at keeping blood sugar in a healthy range, but people using the continuous glucose monitor were more likely to hit the stricter, harder goals—like staying in range most of the day without going too low.
