Blood glucose monitoring can help with the following:

Before meals to give the user the chance to adjust the meal insulin dose

If there are concerns that the CGM readings do not reflect the blood glucose

To detect hypoglycemia before bedtime; before driving; before, during, and after exercise; and when hypoglycemic symptoms occur

CGM manufacturers state that BGM testing is still necessary1, 3-6
