This integration allows for more precise control, reduced manual intervention, and improved long-term outcomes. As diabetes care moves toward data-driven systems, these technologies are becoming central to modern insulin therapy.<\/p><h2><strong>What is an Insulin Pump and CGM?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Insulin pump and CGM are two distinct devices that serve complementary roles in diabetes management.
