Cost-Utility Analysis of FreeStyle Libre Systems in People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Treatment with Basal Insulin and Poor Glycemic Control in Spain.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

FreeStyle Libre (FSL) systems are effective and user-friendly glucose monitoring devices. This cost-effectiveness analysis compared FSL vs. self-blood glucose monitoring (SBGM) in patients with poorly controlled [hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 8%] type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on basal insulin, from the Spanish National Health System perspective.

Methods

The DEDUCE model, which simulated 10,000 patients with T2DM over a 50 years' time horizon (annual discount rate = 3.00%), was adapted to the Spanish setting. The population characteristics, frequency of acute and chronic diabetic complications, costs (€, 2025) and utilities/disutilities proceeded from scientific literature and were validated by national multidisciplinary experts. The annual probabilities of acute events asso
