ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has emerged as an important tool for the improvement of glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, its use has not been greatly explored among adolescents with special physiological and psychosocial challenges. This study evaluated the role of CGM in supporting glycemic control among high-risk adolescents with T1D in Saudi Arabia.
