Comparisons of Fifth-, Sixth-, and Seventh-Generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Review with propensity-score-adjusted comparison of preapproval trial data

Authors' conclusion

Adjusted MARD and %20/20 agreement rates were 9.0%/93.1% (abdomen-placed G5), 9.9%/92.3% (abdomen-placed G6), 9.1%/93.2% (abdomen-placed G7), and 8.2%/95.3% (arm-placed G7). Task analysis favored G7 over earlier systems. Favorable clinical outcomes such as hemoglobin A1c reduction and hypoglycemia avoidance seen with G5 and G6 are anticipated with G7 use.
