blood-sugar patterns among kidney-dialysis patients reveals a surprising disconnect between what standard medical tests show and what's happening with patients' glucose levels throughout the day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The study followed 420 dialysis patients wearing continuous glucose monitors. These small sensors, typically attached to the abdomen or upper arm, track users’ blood sugar every five minutes for 10 days. The monitors’
readings exposed an unexpected volume of high and low blood-sugar episodes not indicated by the standard clinic-based blood draws that most doctors rely on.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“It was eye-opening because there clearly are abnormalities going on that we are not aware of. We presume high and low glucose values matter in this population, but we can’t say for sure. In any case, if I’m a patient
on dialysis, I want to get one of these [monitors] and see what’s going on,” said Dr.
