Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Diabetes Care in Saudi Arabia: Addressing Performance Standards and Regulatory Gaps-Literature Review and Consensus Report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices has significantly improved diabetes management. However, several limitations persist, including the great variation in accuracy, inconsistent study designs, and variations in regulatory approval standards. Therefore, the need for regulatory harmonization, robust validation, and transparent data reporting is crucial.

Methods

The current consensus report was developed through a structured, multi-phase process to comprehensively assess these challenges. A literature review of databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and the Saudi Digital Library, focusing on publications from 2016 to 2024, evaluated evidence on CGM devices in terms of performance and clinical outcome, with priority given to regional data, randomized con
