Performance of a Factory-Calibrated, Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in Pediatric Participants With Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The perceived value and consistent use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems depends in part on their accuracy. We assessed the performance of a sixth-generation CGM system (Dexcom G6) in children and adolescents.

Methods

Forty-nine participants (6-17 years of age, mean ± SD of 13.5 ± 3.3 years), all with type 1 diabetes, enrolled and data were available from 37. Each participant wore 1 sensor for up to 10 days and was asked to undergo an in-clinic visit lasting 6-12 hours for frequent blood glucose (BG) sample testing on one of the sensor wear days. Estimated glucose values (EGVs) from the G6 system were compared with venous BG values measured with a laboratory reference instrument (YSI).

Results

The overall mean absolute relative difference (MARD
