An updated algorithm for an effective choice of continuous glucose monitoring for people with insulin-treated diabetes.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a key tool for insulin-treated people with diabetes (PwD). CGM devices include both real-time CGM (rtCGM) and intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM), which are associated with an improvement of glucose control and less hypoglycemia in clinical trials of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Methods

This is an expert position to update a previous algorithm on the most suitable choice of CGM for insulin-treated PwD in light of the recent evidence and clinical practice.

Results

We identified six different clinical scenarios, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, pregnancy on intensive insulin therapy, regular physical exercise, new onset of diabetes, and frailty. The use of rtCGM or isCGM is suggested, on the basis of the predominant clinical issue, as suboptimal glucose control or disabling hypoglycemia, regardless of baseline HbA1c or individualized HbA1c target.

Conclusion

The present algorithm may help to select the best CGM device based on patients' clinical characteristics, needs and clinical context, offering a further opportunity of a "tailored" therapy for people with insulin-treated diabetes.
