Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.
