Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics Using FreeStyle Libre3 in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Gastroparesis: A Pilot Prospective Investigator-Initiated Study

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Patients with T2D and GP showed distinct and altered CGM glucose metrics compared with those with T2D without GP. These findings highlight the need for better glycemic control in this population. Whether CGM metrics could help identify a specific biomarker for gastroparesis remains to be determined. Further validation with a broader population, including patients with T1D and GLP-1RAs, is necessary.
