Current Status of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Use in South Korean Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Population-Pronounced Age-Related Disparities: Nationwide Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Backgruound

This study aims to identify the status of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in South Korea and to investigate whether age-related disparities exist.

Methods

Individuals with T1DM receiving intensive insulin therapy were identified from the Korean National Health Insurance Cohort (2019-2022). Characteristics of CGM users and non-users were compared, and the prescription rates of CGM and sensor- augmented pump (SAP) or automated insulin delivery (AID) systems according to age groups (<19, 19-39, 40-59, and ≥60 years) were analyzed using chi-square tests. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and coefficients of variation (CV) among CGM users were also examined.

Results

Among the 56,908 individuals
