Early Continuous Glucose Monitor Use in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Rates of Initiation and Impact on Glycemic Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Early initiation of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) after type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis has been associated with lower hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) in single-institution studies. This multicenter study evaluated the association between the timing of CGM initiation and HbA1c at 3 years postdiagnosis.

Research design and methods

Data were obtained from the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative (T1DX-QI) electronic health record database from 25 pediatric centers and included children and adolescents ≤18 years old diagnosed with T1D in 2019 and 2020. CGM initiation and glycemic outcomes were followed for 3 years after diagnosis. Locally estimated scatterplot smoothing plots evaluated the relationship between timing of CGM initiation and HbA1c over time, and logi
