ABSTRACT
The associations of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-specific diabetes education with real-world utilization of glucose alerts and alarms were assessed in current CGM-users with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Germany assessing utilization (use and responses) of different alerts and alarms. Ordinal logistic regression analyses were conducted to analyze associations between utilization and participation in CGM-specific education. Data from 453 participants were analyzed (86.2% type 1 diabetes). Participants who received CGM-specific education were more likely to regularly use low-glucose alerts (odds ratio [OR] = 5.43, P < 0.001), low-glucose alarms (OR = 2.03, P = 0.027), and rate of change alerts (OR = 4.20, P = 0.009), and were more likely to immediately react to low-glucose alerts (OR = 5.23, P < 0.001) and rate of change alerts (OR = 3.75, P = 0.018). CGM-specific education has the potential to increase utilization of and response to alerts and alarms. This may help to implement more preventive elements regarding glucose management in everyday life.
