Spanish Consensus on the Use of Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Management of Patients With Insulin Therapy: The MONITOR Project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are increasingly being adopted as an alternative or adjunct to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) by patients receiving insulin therapy. However, the available evidence on the role of intermittently scanned CGM or flash CGM (isCGM) remains limited. This consensus aims to evaluate the degree of agreement among Spanish experts on the role of isCGM in the evaluation of glycemic variability, reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and selection and adjustment of insulin therapy.

Methods

Delphi methodology was used to achieve consensus in two survey rounds. A total of 431 Spanish endocrinologists participated in the first round of a 34-item questionnaire survey on isCGM and 427 participated in the second rou
