Are we Ready for Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Hospital Setting? Benefits, Challenges, and Practical Approaches for Implementation : Case Vignette: Remote Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Hospitalized Care in Quincy Koala.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While preliminary evidence for use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) in the hospital setting is encouraging, challenges with currently available devices and technology will need to be overcome as part of real-world integration. This paper reviews the current evidence and guidelines regarding use of rtCGM in the hospital and suggests a practical approach to implementation. RECENT FINDINGS: There is now a considerable body of real-world evidence on the benefits of reducing dysglycemia in the hospital using both traditional point-of-care (POC) glucose testing and rtCGM. Benefits of rtCGM include decreased frequency of hypo- and hyperglycemia with reduced need of frequent POC checks and it is both feasible and well-accepted by nursing staff and providers. If expansion to additional sites is to be considered, practical solutions will need to be offered. Recommendations for an operational workflow and tools are described to guide implementation in the non-ICU setting. Further testing in randomized controlled trials and real-world dissemination and implementation designs is needed, together with industry and technology collaborations, to further streamline the integration into health systems.

Improving Diabetic Care Through Education and Innovation.

Background: Despite the innovative advancements in diabetes care, providers may not recognize patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who qualify for a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device or the benefits of a telemedicine program for improving self-management behaviors. Objective: This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to determine if an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN)-led telemedicine program using CGM could improve glycemic control and self-management in patients with insulin-dependent T2DM. Methods: A 6-week telemedicine program was developed and implemented using the CGM's time-in-range to deliver patient-specific education. Clinical metrics were collected at each visit. All patients completed a pre- and postintervention Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire-Revised (DSMQ-R) survey. Results: A repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that the telemedicine program had a statistically significant impact on time-in-range outcomes, F(2, 14) = 18.203, p < .001. Paired-samples t tests indicate that APRN-led education improved body mass index, t(8) = 4.232, p = .002; decreased systolic blood pressure, t(8) = 2.90, p = .010, and diastolic blood pressure, t(8) = 3.21, p = .007; and increased self-management skills as evidenced by DSMQ-R, t(8) = -5.498, p < .001. Conclusions: This QI project highlights multiple interventions for improving diabetes management in a primary care facility. Implications for Nursing: An APRN-led telemedicine program integrating CGM time-in-range data can improve glycemic control and self-management skills in patients with T2DM who administer insulin.

Decreased complexity of glucose time series index associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus.

AIM: We investigated the relationship between the complexity of the glucose time series index (CGI) during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, 388 singleton pregnant women with GDM underwent continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) at a median of 26.86 gestational weeks. CGI was calculated using refined composite multiscale entropy based on CGM data. The participants were categorized into tertiles according to their baseline CGI (CGI <2.32, 2.32-3.10, ≥3.10). Logistic regression was used to assess the association between CGI and composite adverse outcomes or large for gestational age (LGA). The discrimination performance of CGI was estimated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS: Of the 388 participants, 71 (18.3%) had LGA infants and 63 (16.2%) had composite adverse outcomes. After adjustments were made for confounders, compared with those with a high CGI (CGI ≥3.10), participants with a low CGI (CGI <2.32) had a higher risk of composite adverse outcomes (odds ratio: 12.10, 95% confidence interval: 4.41-33.18) and LGA (odds ratio: 12.68, 95% confidence interval: 4.04-39.75). According to the receiver operating characteristic analysis, CGI was significantly better than glycated haemoglobin and conventional CGM indicators for the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes (all p < .05). CONCLUSION: A lower CGI during pregnancy was associated with composite adverse outcomes and LGA. CGI, a novel glucose homeostasis predictor, seems to be superior to conventional glucose indicators for the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with GDM.

Role perceptions and experiences of adult children in remote glucose management for older parents with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: With the advent of the smart phone era, managing blood glucose at home through apps will become more common for older individuals with diabetes. Adult children play important roles in glucose management of older parents. Few studies have explored how adult children really feel about engaging in the glucose management of their older parents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through mobile apps. This study provides insights into the role perceptions and experiences of adult children of older parents with T2DM participating in glucose management through mobile apps. METHODS: In this qualitative study, 16 adult children of older parents with T2DM, who had used mobile apps to manage blood glucose for 6 months, were recruited through purposive sampling. Semi-structured, in-depth, face-to-face interviews to explore their role perceptions and experiences in remotely managing their older parents' blood glucose were conducted. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) were followed to ensure rigor in the study. The data collected were analyzed by applying Colaizzi's seven-step qualitative analysis method. RESULTS: Six themes and eight sub-themes were identified in this study. Adult children's perceived roles in glucose management of older parents with T2DM through mobile apps could be categorized into four themes: health decision-maker, remote supervisor, health educator and emotional supporter. The experiences of participation could be categorized into two themes: facilitators to participation and barriers to participation. CONCLUSION: Some barriers existed for adult children of older parents with T2DM participating in glucose management through mobile apps; however, the findings of this study were generally positive. It was beneficial and feasible for adult children to co-manage the blood glucose of older parents. Co-managing blood glucose levels in older parents with T2DM can enhance both adherence rates and confidence in managing blood glucose effectively.

Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring and its Glucometrics in Clinical Practice in Spain and Future Perspectives: A Narrative Review.

INTRODUCTION: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices allow for 24-h real-time measurement of interstitial glucose levels and have changed the interaction between people with diabetes and their health care providers. The large amount of data generated by CGM can be analyzed and evaluated using a set of standardized parameters, collectively named glucometrics. This review aims to provide a summary of the existing evidence on the use of glucometrics data and its impact on clinical practice based on published studies involving adults and children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Spain. METHODS: The PubMed and MEDES (Spanish Medical literature) databases were searched covering the years 2018-2022 and including clinical and observational studies, consensus guidelines, and meta-analyses on CGM and glucometrics conducted in Spain. RESULTS: A total of 16 observational studies were found on the use of CGM in Spain, which have shown that cases of severe hypoglycemia in children with T1D were greatly reduced after the introduction of CGM, resulting in a significant reduction in costs. Real-world data from Spain shows that CGM is associated with improved glycemic markers (increased time in range, reduced time below and above range, and glycemic variability), and that there is a relationship between glycemic variability and hypoglycemia. Also, CGM and analysis of glucometrics proved highly useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. New glucometrics, such as the glycemic risk index, or new mathematical approaches to the analysis of CGM-derived glucose data, such as "glucodensities," could help patients to achieve better glycemic control in the future. CONCLUSION: By using glucometrics in clinical practice, clinicians can better assess glycemic control and a patient's individual response to treatment.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are used to monitor glucose levels in real time over 24 h. This has changed the way people with diabetes and their health care providers interact. These devices produce a large amount of data that can be analyzed and evaluated using standardized parameters called glucometrics, which include the time a patient's glucose is in range, below range, and above range, and how much it varies over 24 h. Clinicians can use these data to better assess glycemic control and a patient's individual response to treatment. In this article, we summarize evidence from published studies involving adults and children with type 1 diabetes in Spain to look at how the use of these data has affected clinical practice. Studies have shown that cases of severe low blood glucose in children with diabetes were greatly reduced after the introduction of CGM, resulting in a significant reduction in costs. Data from clinical practice in Spain show that CGM is associated with improved blood glucose markers. Many studies analyzed these data during the COVID-19 pandemic and showed that CGM and analysis of glucometrics were highly useful during this time. New glucometrics and approaches to the analysis of data from CGM could help patients achieve better blood glucose control.

Continuous glucose monitoring for self-management of diabetes in people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus on basal insulin therapy: A microsimulation model and cost-effectiveness analysis from a US perspective with relevance to Medicaid.

BACKGROUND: Reducing the risks of complications is a primary goal of diabetes management, with effective glycemic control a key factor. Glucose monitoring using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology is an important part of diabetes self-management, helping patients reach and maintain targeted glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Although clinical guidelines recommended CGM use, coverage by Medicaid is limited, likely because of cost concerns. OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of FreeStyle Libre CGM systems, compared with capillary-based self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), in US individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus using basal insulin. METHODS: A patient-level microsimulation model was used to compare CGM with SMBG for a population of 10,000 patients. A 10-year horizon was used, with an annual discount rate of 3.0% for costs and utilities. Model population characteristics were based on US national epidemiology data. Patient outcomes were based on published clinical trials and real-world studies. Annual costs, reflective of 2023 values, included CGM and SMBG acquisition costs and the costs of treating diabetic ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycemia, and diabetes complications. The effect of CGM was modeled as a persistent 1.1% reduction in HbA1c relative to SMBG based on US real-world evidence. Disutilities were based on published clinical trials and other relevant literature. The primary outcome was cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. Sensitivity analyses were performed to test the validity of the model results when accounting for a plausible variation of inputs. RESULTS: In the base case analysis, CGM was dominant to SMBG, providing more QALYs (6.18 vs 5.97) at a lower cost ($70,137 vs $71,809) over the 10-year time horizon. A $10,456 increase in glucose monitoring costs was offset by a $12,127 reduction in treatment costs. Cost savings reflected avoidance of acute diabetic events (savings owing to reductions in severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis were $271 and $2,159, respectively) and a reduced cumulative incidence of diabetes complications, particularly renal failure (saving $5,292), myocardial infarction (saving $1,996), and congestive heart failure (saving $1,061). Scenario analyses were consistent with the base case results, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for CGM vs SMBG ranged from dominant to cost-effective. In probabilistic analysis, CGM was 100% likely to be cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $50,000/QALY. CONCLUSIONS: CGM is cost-effective compared with SMBG for US patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving basal insulin therapy. This suggests that state Medicaid programs could benefit from broader coverage of CGM.

Integrating Automation, Interactive Visualization, and Unsupervised Learning for Enhanced Diabetes Management.

Effective management of diabetes necessitates efficient data handling, insightful analytics, and personalized interventions. In this study, we present a comprehensive system that automates the extraction, transformation, and loading of continuous glucose monitoring data. Data is integrated into an interactive dashboard with dual access levels: one for healthcare management professionals and another for patients for clinical management. The dashboard provides real-time updates and customizable visualization options, empowering users with actionable insights into their glucose levels. Furthermore, a clustering model to categorize patients into distinct groups based on their glucose profiles was developed. Through this model, three clusters representing different patterns of glucose control are identified. Healthcare professionals can utilize these insights to tailor treatment strategies, allocate resources effectively, and identify high-risk patients.

Identifying Patterns in Long Term CGM and Insulin Data - An Explorative Study.

The increased utilization of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and smart insulin pens (SIP) among people with type 2 diabetes generates significant health data. This study explored possible patterns in long term CGM and SIP data.

Discordance Between Mealtimes Reported by Trial Participants with Type 2 Diabetes and Healthcare Professionals.

Healthy lifestyle behaviors are essential in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and meal registration is therefore important. Manual meal registration is cumbersome and could be automated using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). If such an algorithm is based on patient-reported meals, potential errors might be induced. Thus, the aim was to investigate potential errors in patient-reported mealtimes and the effect on automatic meal detection. Two healthcare professionals (HCPs) reported the mealtimes of the 18 included patients based on the patients' CGM data to assess the agreement between HCP- and patient-reported mealtimes. A developed meal detection algorithm based on detecting the post-prandial glucose response using cross-correlation was used to assess the impact of errors in patient-reported meals. The results showed poor disagreement between HCP- and patient-reported meals and that the meal detection algorithm had a moderately better performance on the HCP-reported meals. Therefore, the possibility of errors in patient-reported mealtimes should be considered in the development of meal detection algorithms. However, more research is needed to confirm the results of this study.

Insertable Glucose Sensor Using a Compact and Cost-Effective Phosphorescence Lifetime Imager and Machine Learning.

Optical continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are emerging for personalized glucose management owing to their lower cost and prolonged durability compared to conventional electrochemical CGMs. Here, we report a computational CGM system, which integrates a biocompatible phosphorescence-based insertable biosensor and a custom-designed phosphorescence lifetime imager (PLI). This compact and cost-effective PLI is designed to capture phosphorescence lifetime images of an insertable sensor through the skin, where the lifetime of the emitted phosphorescence signal is modulated by the local concentration of glucose. Because this phosphorescence signal has a very long lifetime compared to tissue autofluorescence or excitation leakage processes, it completely bypasses these noise sources by measuring the sensor emission over several tens of microseconds after the excitation light is turned off. The lifetime images acquired through the skin are processed by neural network-based models for misalignment-tolerant inference of glucose levels, accurately revealing normal, low (hypoglycemia) and high (hyperglycemia) concentration ranges. Using a 1 mm thick skin phantom mimicking the optical properties of human skin, we performed in vitro testing of the PLI using glucose-spiked samples, yielding 88.8% inference accuracy, also showing resilience to random and unknown misalignments within a lateral distance of ∼4.7 mm with respect to the position of the insertable sensor underneath the skin phantom. Furthermore, the PLI accurately identified larger lateral misalignments beyond 5 mm, prompting user intervention for realignment. The misalignment-resilient glucose concentration inference capability of this compact and cost-effective PLI makes it an appealing wearable diagnostics tool for real-time tracking of glucose and other biomarkers.

Self-management interventions for gestational diabetes in Africa: a scoping review.

BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes (GD) can threaten the health of both the mother and the foetus if it is not effectively managed. While there exists a growing body of research on self-management interventions for GD, there is a lack of reviewed studies regarding the various self-management interventions in Africa. The purpose of this review is to map the evidence of self-management interventions for GD in Africa. METHODS: Searches for records were conducted in four major databases, including PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct and Journal Storage. Additional documents from Google and Google Scholar were also added. The guidelines for conducting scoping reviews by Arksey and O'Malley were followed. RESULTS: The results revealed that intermittent fasting, education on diet, insulin injection, blood glucose monitoring, physical activities, lifestyle modification and foot care were the available self-management interventions for GD in Africa. Most of the reviewed studies reported intermittent fasting and patient education as effective self-management interventions for GD in Africa. The barriers identified in the reviewed studies were either patient-related or facility-related. Patient-related barriers included lack of awareness, and negative attitude, while facility-related barriers included lack of access to education on GD, especially, face-to-face educational interventions. CONCLUSION: It is crucial to consider the cultural and personal needs, as well as the educational level of women with gestational diabetes when creating an effective self-management intervention. Optimal results can be achieved for self-management of gestational diabetes by integrating multidisciplinary approaches.

Functionalized primer initiated signal cycles and personal glucose meter for sensitive and portable miRNA analysis.

MicroRNA (miRNA) has garnered considerable attention due to its diagnostic capabilities, such as in hypoxic cognitive impairment and cancers. However, the existing miRNA detection methods are commonly criticized for the drawbacks of low sensitivity and false-positive detection derived from interfering molecules. Here, we provide a novel, sensitive and portable method for miRNA detection by combining target identification based cyclization of padlocks, immobilized primer-based signal amplification and a personal glucose meter. The proposed method exhibits several advantages, including precise identification of specific sites, exceptional sensitivity and instrument-free feature. These attributes hold great promise for the diagnosis and clinical investigation of various diseases, such as cancer and hypoxic cognitive impairment, enabling a deeper understanding of their pathological and physiological aspects.

With miRNA-155 as detective target, the feasibility of the method has been demonstrated. The padlock sequences are cyclized by miRNA-155, which subsequently hybridize with primer sequence that is immobilized on the surface of a 96-well plate, and the interfering molecules are removed. This DNA polymerase triggers a chain extension process on the terminus of primer sequence, activating DNAzyme based cleavage. Consequently, a multitude of linker sequences are generated to facilitate the formation of the 'e/linker/f/sucrase' on magnetic bead, thereby enabling the catalysis of sucrose into glucose. This enzymatic reaction may be identified and measured using the personal glucose meter.

Intelligent Diabetes Telemonitoring for Patients on Insulin Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol.

Protocol for a three-arm randomized controlled trial investigating telemonitoring with decision support in insulin-treated people with type 2 diabetes.

Comparison of Points in Range Measured by the Self-monitoring of Blood Glucose and Time in Range Measured by the Continuous Glucose Monitoring.

OBJECTIVE: Usage of time in range (TIR), measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), has become common as a new index of glycemic control. Therefore, we compared points in range (PIR), measured by the self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), with TIR. METHODS: In this prospective observational study, 43 patients with diabetes wore FreeStyle Libre Pro and conducted SMBG at the same time. Time above range (TAR), TIR, time below range (TBR) and points above range (PAR), PIR, points below range (PBR) were compared, respectively. RESULTS: The median PAR was 35.7%, while the median TAR was 20.8% for CGM. Conversely, the PIR was 64.3%, while the TIR was 74.9%; similarly, the PBR was 0%, while the TBR was 1.7%. A significant positive correlation was found between PIR and TIR (r = 0.784, P < 0.001). In the Bland-Altman analysis performed to assess the association between the two methods, PIR showed a -9.9% bias compared with TIR. CONCLUSIONS: PIR may be used in patients who find it difficult to use CGM as a substitute of TIR, however caution is needed when interpreting the data due to the difference between PIR and TIR.

[Position paper: Open-source technology in the treatment of people living with diabetes mellitus-an Austrian perspective : Technology Committee of the Austrian Diabetes Association]. / Positionspapier: Open-source-Technologie in der Behandlung von Menschen mit Diabetes mellitus ­ eine österreichische Perspektive : Technologieausschuss der Österreichischen Diabetes Gesellschaft.

People living with diabetes mellitus can be supported in the daily management by diabetes technology with automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and improve glycemic control as well as the quality of life. Due to barriers in the availability of AID-systems, the use and development of open-source AID-systems have internationally increased. This technology provides a necessary alternative to commercially available products, especially when approved systems are inaccessible or insufficiently adapted to the specific needs of the users. Open-source technology is characterized by worldwide free availability of codes on the internet, is not officially approved and therefore the use is on the individual's own responsibility. In the clinical practice a lack of expertise with open-source AID technology and concerns about legal consequences, lead to conflict situations for health-care professionals (HCP), sometimes resulting in the refusal of care of people living with diabetes mellitus. This position paper provides an overview of the available evidence and practical guidance for HCP to minimize uncertainties and barriers. People living with diabetes mellitus must continue to be supported in education and diabetes management, independent of the chosen diabetes technology including open-source technology. Check-ups of the metabolic control, acute and chronic complications and screening for diabetes-related diseases are necessary and should be regularly carried out, regardless of the chosen AID-system and by a multidisciplinary team with appropriate expertise.

Development of a target product profile for new glucose self-monitoring technologies for use in low- and middle-income countries.

AIMS: Most glucose self-monitoring devices have been developed with high-income countries in mind. We developed a target product profile (TPP) for new glucose self-monitoring technologies for users in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS: A draft TPP including 39 characteristics was developed by an expert group including diabetes specialists, device specialists, and people with diabetes, incorporating findings from qualitative research in LMICs. Each characteristic had minimal and optimal requirements for two use cases, frequent and sporadic use. Characteristics requiring refinement were identified via online survey. Characteristics with agreement level <90% for any requirement were reviewed by the expert group and amended as appropriate. RESULTS: One characteristic (shelf life) had agreement <75% (both requirements for both use cases). Characteristics with agreement ≥75% and <90% for the frequent use case included infrastructure level, measurement cycle, duration of use before replacement, interchangeability, and calibration (both requirements), and activity log and price per month to end payer (minimal requirement). Intended use (both requirements), accuracy, and price per month to end payer (optimal requirement) had agreement ≥75% and <90% for the sporadic use case. CONCLUSIONS: This TPP will inform developers on requirements for glucose self-monitoring technologies for LMICs, and support decision-makers in evaluating existing devices.

Emergent inequity of glycaemic metrics for Maori children with type 1 diabetes is negated by early use of continuous glucose monitoring.

AIM: We investigated if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) within 12 months of being diagnosed modifies the development of glycaemic outcome inequity on the basis of either ethnicity or socio-economic status (SES). METHOD: De-identified clinical and SES data from the KIWIDIAB data network were collected 12 months after diagnosis in children under 15 years diagnosed with T1D between 1 October 2020 and 1 October 2021. RESULTS: There were 206 children with new onset T1D: CGM use was 56.7% for Maori and 77.2% for Europeans. Mean (SD) HbA1c was 62.4 (14.2) mmol/mol at 12 months post diagnosis, but Maori were 9.4mmol/mol higher compared to Europeans (p<0.001). For those without CGM, Maori had an HbA1c 10.8 (95% CI 2.3 to 19.4, p=0.013) mmol/mol higher than Europeans, whereas there was no evidence of a difference between Maori and Europeans using CGM (62.1 [9.3] mmol/mol vs 58.5 [12.4] mmol/mol p=0.53 respectively). Comparing quintiles of SES, HbA1c was 10.8 (95% CI 4.7 to 16.9, p<0.001) mmol/mol higher in the lowest quintile of SES compared to the highest. CONCLUSION: These observational data suggest CGM use ameliorates the ethnic disparity in HbA1c at 12 months in new onset T1D.

Impact in real-world of intermittent-scanned continuous glucose monitoring with alarms on hypoglycemia and its recognition in type 1 diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that real-time CGM use reduce the incidence severe hypoglycemic events and impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) However, there are few real-world studies evaluating the effect of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) on hypoglycemic episodes and hypoglycemia unawareness (IAH). The present study was designed to cover this research-practice gap. METHODS: This is a real-world, observational, prospective cohort study with 2 years of follow-up in which 60 subjects with T1D who experienced frequent hypoglycemic events were included. All the patients were invited to use isCGM type Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2® on a continuous basis for 2 years. Glucometric parameters were obtained during the initial 2 weeks using isCGM and compared with data collected for the same period at 1 year and at the end of follow-up. The IAH was evaluated using the Clarke questionnaire, and to assess psychological aspects related to hypoglycemia the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) was used. RESULTS: After 2-years of follow-up using isCGM, we observed a decrease in glucose variability (40.3 ± 0.8 % vs. 37.1 ± 0.9 %, p = 0.003), time in low glucose range (54-69 mg/dL) (5.2 ± 0.4 % vs. 3.6 ± 0.3 %, p = 0.001), time in very low glucose range (<54 mg/dL) (3.2 ± 0.5 % vs. 0.8 ± 0.2 %, p < 0.001), less events related to low glucose levels (10.6 ± 1.1 vs 8.0 ± 1.0, p = 0.042) and a short duration of hypoglycemia episodes (106.1 ± 5.9 min vs. 85.7 ± 5.7 min, p = 0.008). In addition, participants presented a reduction of 47 % in the frequency of IAH, assessed by the Clarke questionnaire scores (24.6 % vs. 11.6 %, p = 0.034), as well as hypoglycemia fear (77.8 ± 2.4 vs 68.2 ± 2.1, p < 0.001). Furthermore, a reduction in total insulin dose was also observed (0.64 ± 0.30 UI/Kg/day vs 0.56 ± 0.11 UI/Kg/day, p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: In the real-world, long-term use of isCGM could reduce both hypoglycemic episodes and IAH in people with T1D.
