An updated algorithm for an effective choice of continuous glucose monitoring for people with insulin-treated diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a key tool for insulin-treated people with diabetes (PwD). CGM devices include both real-time CGM (rtCGM) and intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM), which are associated with an improvement of glucose control and less hypoglycemia in clinical trials of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Methods

This is an expert position to update a previous algorithm on the most suitable choice of CGM for insulin-treated PwD in light of the recent evidence and clinical practice.

Results

We identified six different clinical scenarios, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, pregnancy on intensive insulin therapy, regular physical exercise, new onset of diabetes, and frailty. The use of rtCGM or isCGM is suggested, on the basis of th
