November is National Diabetes Month. During this month, Montgomery Medical joins communities nationwide to find ways to bring awareness to diabetes. This is the month designated to work with our patients to take charge of their help to prevent diabetes. For diabetes patients, we will focus on better ways to help them control this disease to maintain healthy blood glucose levels.

At Montgomery Medical, we help patients by reviewing their diet, medication changes, and exercises, and using Continual Glucose Monitors. We now have over 200 patients using Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring or FreeStyle Libre monitors. These devices have been instrumental in keeping patients aware of their blood sugar readings without pricking their fingers. We have seen significant decreases in patients’ A1C’s with the use of these monitors. They make our patients more aware of their blood sugar levels, which is especially important as we approach the holiday season.



There are measures in place to assist patients in 2024 to give them more access to these monitors. At Montgomery Medical, it is our goal to keep up with insurance changes and assist our pre-diabetics and diabetics to better control their blood sugars and live a healthier lifestyle.
