Effect of the FreeStyle Libre™ flash glucose monitoring system on glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with basal-bolus insulin therapy: An open label, prospective, multicenter trial in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

We investigated the effect of FreeStyle Libre^TM on glycemic control in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients treated with basal-bolus insulin therapy.

Materials and methods

This prospective, 90-day single-arm study enrolled 94 adults with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. A 14-day masked baseline phase was followed by an 11-week treatment phase during which participants used the device to monitor glucose levels. The primary end-point was time spent in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) for baseline versus study end (days 76-90). Secondary end-points included other measures of glycemic control, along with patient satisfaction using the Japanese Diabetes Treatment and Satisfaction Questionnaire.

Results

Time spent in hypoglycemia was low at baseline (
