Public Health System Funding for isCGM Reduces Socioeconomic Disparities in Type 2 Diabetes Control: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The objective of this study is to assess whether the provision of free intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems can reduce socioeconomic disparities in glycemic control among individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) treated with multiple daily insulin injections. Methods: This is a cohort study involving 402 T2D patients from three hospitals, all of whom initiated isCGM use as part of routine clinical practice. The isCGM systems were provided free of charge through public healthcare funding, with no out-of-pocket cost to the patients.
