Diabetes self-management observational study investigating how CGM use impacts diabetes distress, glycaemia and functions as a technological substitute for hypoglycaemia awareness: a study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides real-time glucose data for people with diabetes. However, detailed knowledge of its use in daily life remains limited. We aim to investigate the interaction between people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their CGM data and the impact of the interaction on glycaemia and diabetes distress.

Methods and analysis

This is a two-centre observational study of adults (n=500) with T1D using FreeStyle Libre 2. Over a period of 14 days, participants will continue their regular CGM use, record insulin doses and timing with smart insulin pens, track activity and sleep with an activity tracker, log all food intake in the LibreLink app and answer questions about quality of life and hypoglycaemia two times per day.
