Asia-Pacific Perspectives on the Role of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Optimizing Diabetes Management

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Expert panel report with clinician survey

Authors' conclusion

While CGM is becoming the new standard of care and a useful adjunct to HbA1c and SMBG globally, glucose monitoring type, timing, and frequency should be individualized according to local and patient-specific contexts.

Study context

Population
Clinicians of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) Diabetes Care Advisory Board, Asia-Pacific region
Outcome
Clinician-reported CGM utilization in APAC
Methodological detailspre-meeting survey, expert panel meeting
  • Pre-meeting survey
  • Expert panel meeting

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Findings discussed: glucose monitoring patterns and influencing factors, patient profiles for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) initiation and continuation, CGM benefits, and CGM optimization challenges and potential solutions in APAC
  • CGM is becoming the new standard of care and a useful adjunct to HbA1c and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG); glucose monitoring type, timing and frequency should be individualized to local and patient-specific contexts

Observational data: associations, not effects.
