Veterinary article explaining the need for pet CGMs from last year, this is a good overall picture of what a CGM is, how it works, and why its useful. But this is talking about a human CGM being used for animals, so it makes sense why a pet specific one will become the standard of care.

My veterinary said out of the two CGMS on the market, Dexcom is way to expensive to ever use and so Libre is the only options vets prescribe but the software to read the thousands of blood sugar readings is terrible and its only on the pet owners phone not in the vets system. Plus you have to scan it every 8 hours or you lose the data because its a "flash" monitor not a "continuous" monitor.
