Clinical efficacy of Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring in improving glycemic control among children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: An Open-label Randomized Control Trial.

ABSTRACT: Frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the only accurate method available for insulin dose titration in patients with T1DM. Professional continuous glucose monitoring (p-CGM) is blinded recording of glucose trends over 5-7 days and helps physicians to guide insulin titration to patient. This study was planned to assess efficacy of insulin dose adjustments, based on p-CGM plus SMBG in improving glycemic control compared to SMBG alone. We did an open-label, parallel design, randomized control trial among children (2-10 years) having T1DM for at least 6 months. Subjects in the intervention group were placed on p-CGM (iPRO 2™ Professional CGM, Medtronic, USA) for 3-5 days along with regular SMBG. Data from p-CGM was analyzed by physician and used to guide insulin titration along w
