This journal delves into the potential of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology to revolutionize the management of diabetic foot complications within the context of rural India. The resource constraints and limited access to healthcare facilities prevalent in developing countries accentuate the challenges in diabetic foot care. This article highlights how CGM technology addresses these challenges by providing real-time glucose level insights to patients and healthcare providers alike.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Description:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our 1\n                      <jats:sup>st<\/jats:sup>\n                      case is a 62-year-old male with a non-healing diabetic foot ulcer, complicated by severe sensorimotor neuropathy owing to suboptimal glycemic control. Our second patient is a 55-year-old male tailor with poorly controlled diabetes who developed a recurrent follicular abscess despite prior antibiotic therapy.

Despite multiple antifungal treatments, the infection persisted. By using CGM to monitor blood glucose levels, and adjusting the diet regimen, alongside antidiabetic therapy, all these patients recovered completely without any surgical interventions.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These cases underscore the importance of CGM in achieving tight glycemic control, improving infection resolution, and enhancing patient well-being, particularly in cases where traditional approaches may have been insufficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1961_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T11:01:26Z","timestamp":1764327686000},"page":"4879-4882","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Enhancing diabetic foot management in rural India through continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology: A case series"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Arjun Balakrishna","family":"Mallasandra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Akash Institute of Medical Sciences and RC, Devanhalli, Bangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haritha","family":"Bandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Sapthagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and RC, Bangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20251211","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.5001\/omj.2017.34","article-title":"Diabetes mellitus:A local and global public health emergency!","volume":"32","author":"Al-Lawati","year":"2017","journal-title":"Oman Med J"},{"key":"R2-20251211","first-page":"e8636","article-title":"Management of diabetic foot in an indian clinical setup:An opinion survey","volume":"12","author":"Das","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"R3-20251211","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"20420188221099337","DOI":"10.1177\/20420188221099337","article-title":"Association of continuous glucose monitoring-derived time in range with major amputation risk in diabetic foot osteomyelitis patients undergoing amputation","volume":"13","author":"Yin","year":"2022","journal-title":"Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab"},{"key":"R4-20251211","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S25","DOI":"10.1089\/dia.2017.0035","article-title":"Continuous glucose monitoring:A review of recent studies demonstrating improved glycemic outcomes","volume":"19","author":"Rodbard","year":"2017","journal-title":"Diabetes Technol Ther"},{"key":"R5-20251211","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.2337\/cd17-0053","article-title":"Adoption barriers for continuous glucose monitoring and their potential reduction with a fully implanted system:Results from patient preference surveys","volume":"36","author":"Engler","year":"2018","journal-title":"Clin Diabetes"},{"key":"R6-20251211","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"20420188211054676","DOI":"10.1177\/20420188211054676","article-title":"Digital health and diabetes:Experience from India","volume":"12","author":"Kesavadev","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab"}],"container-title":["Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1961_24","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T15:47:59Z","timestamp":1787068079000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1961_24"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,11]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1961_24","relation":{},"ISSN":["2249-4863","2278-7135"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2249-4863","type":"print"},{"value":"2278-7135","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,11]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-12-02","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-05-02","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
