Primary care provider Carbon Health is launching a metabolic assessment program that uses continuous glucose monitors to help identify patients at high risk for diabetes.
The company, which provides virtual care services in addition to brick-and-mortar clinics, will integrate data from CGMs worn for two weeks by their patients into its primary care model to create care plans tailored to the individual.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 34 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, about 1 in 10 individuals, and an estimated 35% of the population has prediabetes.
