Being able to track, analyze, and use data from continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and through platforms and apps that communicate with CGMs helps achieve better outcomes and can advance the understanding of diabetes. The risks to patients' expectation of privacy are great, and their ability to control how their information is collected, stored, and used is virtually nonexistent. Patients' physical security is also at risk if adequate cybersecurity measures are not taken. Currently, data privacy and security protections are not robust enough to address the privacy and security risks and stymies the current and future benefits of CGM and the platforms and apps that communicate with them.
能够跟踪、分析并使用来自连续血糖监测仪（CGM）的数据，以及通过与CGM通信的平台和应用程序来使用这些数据，有助于实现更好的治疗效果，并能增进对糖尿病的了解。患者对隐私的期望面临着巨大风险，而且他们几乎无法控制自己的信息是如何被收集、存储和使用的。如果不采取足够的网络安全措施，患者的人身安全也会受到威胁。目前，数据隐私和安全保护措施还不够强大，无法应对隐私和安全风险，阻碍了CGM以及与之通信的平台和应用程序当前和未来所能带来的益处。
