The new FreeStyle libre flash glucose monitoring system improves the glycaemic control in a cohort of people with type 1 diabetes followed in real-life conditions over a period of one year.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Using the novel FreeStyle Libre (FSL), glucose monitoring (FGM) system becomes increasingly popular among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is associated with less and shorter hypoglycaemic events without deterioration of HbA1c. There are not yet data reporting the impact of FGM in people with T1D in real-life conditions. We sought of evaluating the tolerance, the acceptance and the efficacy of the FGM system in routine medical practice.

Methods

This 12-month observational study included 120 individuals with T1D evaluated every 3 months. After having been instructed about FGM utilization, participants were trained to optimize the glycaemic control.

Results

Participants stopped immediately of measuring capillary blood glucose (2.88 ± 0.12 per day) (mean ± SEM)
