Evaluating the precision and reliability of real-time continuous glucose monitoring systems in ambulatory settings: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with minimally invasive devices plays a key role in the assessment of daily diabetes management by detecting and alerting to potentially dangerous trends in glucose levels, improving quality of life, and treatment adherence. However, there is still uncertainty as to whether CGMs are accurate enough to replace self-monitoring of blood glucose, especially in detecting episodes of hypoglycemia.

Objectives

Evaluate clinical, numerical accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the CGM devices commercially available when compared to the reference standard of arterial or venous blood glucose.

Data sources and methods

We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and LILACS databases. The quality was assessed with the Quality
