isCGM use provided an initial improvement in glycaemic control that was not sustained. Furthermore, offspring of isCGM users were more likely to have neonatal hypoglycaemia, with similar rates of macrosomia and prematurity to those of women receiving standard care (Diabetologia)

Magnitude of Glycemic Improvement in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Basal Insulin: Subgroup Analyses from the MOBILE Study
While the benefit of CGM on TIR among patients with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin is apparent across the range of baseline glycemic control, the greatest impact of CGM is in those with the worst baseline glycemic control, particularly among those with HbA1c ≥10% (Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics)
Effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring in maintaining glycaemic control among people with type 1 diabetes mellitus
CGM is superior to SMBG in improving glycaemic control among individuals with type 1 diabetes in the community, especially in those with uncontrolled glycaemia (Diabetologia)
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes With 35 Years Duration From the DCCT/EDIC Study
The small subset of participants using routine CGM and insulin pumps had fewer hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic excursions and lower HbA1c levels. Thus, strategies to lower meal-stimulated hyperglycemia during the day and prevent hypoglycemia at night are relevant clinical goals in older patients with type 1 diabetes (Diabetes Care)
A Practical Approach to Continuous Glucose Monitoring (rtCGM) and FreeStyle Libre systems (isCGM) in Children and Young people with Type 1 Diabetes
This article, aims to provide a practical approach and help identify which patients may be most likely to benefit and how the technology may be implemented in order to maximise the clinical benefits (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring on maternal and neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Women with GDM using CGM may achieve lower average blood glucose levels, lower maternal weight gain and infant birth weight than women using BGM. Nevertheless, current evidence is limited by the low number of studies and the small sample sizes of these studies. Larger clinical trials are needed to better understand the effects of CGM in GDM (Diabetic Medicine)
Association of glycemic variability assessed by continuous glucose monitoring with subclinical diabetic polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes
The SDgluc is a significant independent contributor to subclinical diabetic polyneuropathy, in addition to conventional risk factors including diabetes duration and HbA1c (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
Does Current Diabetes Technology Improve Metabolic Control? A Cross-Sectional Study on the Use of Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring Devices in a Nationwide Pediatric Population
Despite the broad use of diabetes technology, as many as 61% of our pediatric cohort did not reach the HbA1c target recommended by the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (Diabetes Therapy)
Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Had Improvement in Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Improvement in CGM metrics in youth with T1D during the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that diabetes management can be maintained in the face of sudden changes to daily living. Youth with public insurance deserve more attention in research and clinical practice (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Basal Insulin
Among adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin without prandial insulin, continuous glucose monitoring, as compared with blood glucose meter monitoring, resulted in significantly lower HbA1c levels at 8 months (JAMA)
Motivational Stage at CGM Initiation in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes is Associated with Current Glycemic Control but does not Predict Future CGM Adherence or Glycemic Control
SOCRATES can categorize children with type 1 diabetes and their parents into motivational stages. While motivational stage was associated with glycemic control at trial entry, it did not predict future diabetes-related behaviour or HbA1c (Canadian Journal of Diabetes)
Impact of blinded retrospective continuous glucose monitoring on clinical decision making and glycemic control in persons with type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy
In persons with type 2 diabetes and poor metabolic control, specific data from blinded rCGM informed therapeutic changes and referral to targeted education consultations on nutrition and insulin administration technique (Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases)
Sustained Impact of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes on Insulin Pump Therapy: Results After the 24-Month RESCUE Study
Use of rtCGM led to sustained improvements in hypoglycemia-related glucose control over 24 months. Lower fear of hypoglycemia, less acute hypoglycemia-related events, and diabetes-related days off from work were observed, particularly in those with IAH (Diabetes Care)
Glucose management for exercise using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) systems in type 1 diabetes
Position statement of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) endorsed by JDRF and supported by the American Diabetes Association (Diabetologia)
Comparison of the FreeStyle Libre Pro Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and Point-of-Care Capillary Glucose Testing (POC) in Hospitalized Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Treated With Basal-Bolus Insulin Regimen
Compared with POC, FreeStyle Libre CGM showed lower mean daily glucose and higher detection of hypoglycemic events, particularly nocturnal and prolonged hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients with T2D. CGM’s accuracy was lower in the hypoglycemic range (Diabetes Care)
The Association Between HbA1c and Time in Hypoglycemia During CGM and Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in People With Type 1 Diabetes and Multiple Daily Insulin Injections
CGM is associated with considerably less time in hypoglycemia than SMBG at a broad range of HbA1c levels and is crucial for patients with MDI treatment if they are to have a chance to approach hypoglycemia targets (Diabetes Care)
TIR generated by Continuous Glucose Monitoring is associated with peripheral nerve function in type 2 diabetes
Higher TIR tertiles were independently associated with better peripheral nerve function. CGM-derived TIR may be a promising approach to screen patients for further assessment of possible diabetic peripheral neuropathy (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Hypoglycemia in Older Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Among adults aged 60 years or older with type 1 diabetes, continuous glucose monitoring compared with standard blood glucose monitoring resulted in a small but statistically significant improvement in hypoglycemia over 6 months (JAMA)
Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Glycemic Control in Adolescents and Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Among adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes, continuous glucose monitoring compared with standard blood glucose monitoring resulted in a small but statistically significant improvement in glycemic control over 26 weeks (JAMA)
Efficacy of Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Prevention of Recurrent Severe Hypoglycemia
Although isCGM is safe, it does not appear to have a role in preventing recurrent severe hypoglycemia in at-risk individuals with diabetes (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
