Medicare Expands Access to Continuous Glucose Monitors for Seniors

Diabetes, particularly among seniors over 65, requires careful monitoring of blood sugar levels. Recent updates to Medicare have expanded access to continuous glucose monitors for beneficiaries. This development is significant as it offers the potential for improved health outcomes and a better quality of life for older adults living with diabetes, with many receiving these devices at little or no cost. Such advancements in healthcare coverage reflect a growing commitment to support chronic disease management and enhance the well-being of seniors.
