Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) at Perlman Clinic

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous Glucose Monitoring allows you to utilize a small, minimally-invasive device called the Freestyle Libre 3 to gain real-time insights as to how your glucose levels respond to various factors such as diet, activity, sleep, and stress. This approach has shown great potential in improving metabolic health for non-diabetic individuals, backed by a growing body of evidence. Cost: unless the patient has diabetes or known hypoglycemia, the monitor is not covered by insurance (the actual visit itself should be covered)* See below. For Medicare patients, we send to their usual pharmacy and the 14-day monitor costs around $70 with GoodRx coupon. For non-Medicare patients we are using a delivery pharmacy (Alto) which is really good at applying manufacturer's coupons to get the price at $35-45. *For a limited time we are able to offer all patients a single free sample of either an Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 (14 day monitor) or Dexcom G7 (10 day monitor) at their initial visit. For patients younger than 65, this is coordinated by delivery through Alto pharmacy. For 65+ patients will need to pick up a sample at the La Jolla Ivanhoe Location.
