Abbott Labs Freestyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitor
Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are harmful to blood vessels. At Van Zant Medical Group, we use the FreeStyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to track daily blood sugar trends and identify which foods help stabilize blood sugar.
We offer two options:
Insurance
With specific diagnoses, the CGM is covered by insurance, and patients can receive their own CGM to monitor their blood sugar throughout the day.
Medicare
For Medicare patients, or patients who are part of cost sharing programs, we provide rental of a two week CGM monitor at a nominal cost.
