Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Recreational Scuba Diving in Type 1 Diabetes: Head-to-Head Comparison Between Free Style Libre 3 and Dexcom G7 Performance
Authors' conclusion
The study reveals Free Style Libre 3 superior accuracy compared with Dexcom G7 in a setting of repetitive scuba diving in T1DM, except for hypoglycemic range. Both sensors fail to achieve accuracy for nonadjunctive use.
