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)
Glucose Monitoring in Patients with Diabetes
isCGM may lead to improvements in HbA1c in certain subgroups of patients. Additional benefit with isCGM on time in glycemic range, glycemic variability, and hypoglycemia is unclear at this time (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Advances in glucose monitoring: Improving diabetes management through evidence-based medicine
After 50 years SMBG use remains equivocal. CGM, may face the same fate. While it has been reported that CGM use results in improved HbA 1c, the margin is small, and the studies scant. Like SMBG, CGM was introduced as “here’s something new, try it.” For CGM’s potential to be fully realized it must be understood that it can discover underlying metabolic perturbations that would otherwise go undetected (Primary Care Diabetes)
Value of Capillary Glucose Profiles in Assessing Risk of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes Based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Nocturnal hypoglycemia constitutes nearly one-third of hypoglycemic events in people with T1D. Strict glycemic control and great fluctuation of glucose are potential contributory factors. Daily SMBG profiles and the BGn model could help assess the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia in T1D, which may support further development of preventive strategies (Diabetes Therapy)
Quality of Life and Glucose Control After 1 Year of Nationwide Reimbursement of Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adults Living With Type 1 Diabetes (FUTURE): A Prospective Observational Real-World Cohort Study
Nationwide unrestricted reimbursement of isCGM in people with type 1 diabetes treated in specialist diabetes centers results in higher treatment satisfaction, less severe hypoglycemia, and less work absenteeism, while maintaining quality of life and HbA1c (Diabetes Care)
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in People With Type 1 Diabetes on Multiple-Dose Injection Therapy: The Relationship Between Glycemic Control and Hypoglycemia
Use of rtCGM can flatten and attenuate the relationship between overall glucose control and hypoglycemia, exerting its greatest impact at lower values of HbA1c and mean glucose in people with type 1 diabetes using MDI regimens and at highest risk of hypoglycemia (Diabetes Care)
Glycemic Outcomes in Adults With T1D Are Impacted More by Continuous Glucose Monitoring Than by Insulin Delivery Method: 3 Years of Follow-Up From the COMISAIR Study
rtCGM was superior to SMBG in reducing A1C, hypoglycemia, and other end points in individuals with T1D regardless of their insulin delivery method. rtCGM+MDI can be considered an equivalent but lower-cost alternative to sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy and superior to treatment with SMBG+MDI or SMBG+CSII therapy (Diabetes Care)
Utilizing the Ambulatory Glucose Profile to Standardize and Implement Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Clinical Practice
We describe the core CGM metrics, as well as the standardized glucose profile format consolidating 2 weeks of CGM measurements, referred to as the ambulatory glucose profile (AGP), which was also recommended by the CGM expert pane (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Modelling potential cost savings from use of real‐time continuous glucose monitoring in pregnant women with Type 1 diabetes
Routine use of RT‐CGM by pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, would result in substantial cost savings, mainly through reductions in NICU admissions and shorter duration of NICU care (Diabetes Medicine)
Comparison of flash glucose monitoring with real time continuous glucose monitoring in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
Our data show that during Enlite® rtCGM with the Minimed® 640G pump system glucose variability was smaller and the patients spent less time in hypoglycemia than during isCGM. The need for timely calibrations is considered as the main drawback of the system (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
A View Beyond HbA1c: Role of Continuous Glucose Monitoring
The CGM metrics provide a more personalized approach to diabetes management and resolve most of the limitations of HbA1c (Diabetes Therapy)
Efficacy of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Improve Effects of a Prescriptive Lifestyle Intervention in Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot Study
This study provides preliminary evidence that RT-CGM may be an effective strategy to optimise glucose control whilst following a low-carbohydrate lifestyle programme that targets improved glycaemic control, with minimal professional support (Diabetes Therapy)
