| RELEVANT RESEARCH | |
CGM Metrics May Diverge from A1c in People Without Diabetes
A study of 972 individuals found that continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics like average glucose, time-in-range, and the glycemic management indicator may not align with A1c levels in people without diabetes. The association between CGM metrics and A1c is stronger in those with type 2 diabetes compared with either in pre-diabetes or normoglycemia. This suggests CGM metrics should not be used to infer A1c in non-diabetic individuals. The study highlights the need for further research to establish glucose thresholds for non-diabetics. The study was published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics.
The Takeaway: CGM metrics may not reliably predict A1c in non-diabetics; interpret readings cautiously and consider testing.

Email to the Editor on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 |
Editor's response: We appreciate reader feedback, but our publication will not be strong-armed or intimidated. This is hardly the first time — and won’t be the last — that someone has threatened to use their influence to dictate who can express their opinions about podiatry. We remain committed to open dialogue and the free exchange of ideas. Our readers are invited to view the full discussion and come to their own conclusions.

RE: Graphic Cards with Thunderbolt Port
From: Daniel Chaskin, DPM
How many podiatrists make use of desktop graphic cards linked to their laptops with a thunderbolt port to use local language models of offline artificial intelligence? There are medical local language models out there. Perhaps the APMA might consider creating a podiatric local language model geared to podiatry.
This way podiatrists with the proper graphic cards might run such a podiatric language model on their encrypted computer so as to attempt to provide complete privacy regarding patients. An encrypted computer should be used.
