Contributions of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring frequency and bolus insulin dosing on time in range: Analysis of data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and connected insulin pens
Authors' conclusion
While glucose monitoring frequency and insulin bolus dosing are both indicators of engagement with diabetes self-management, higher TIR has a closer association with increased rates of user engagement with isCGM than with increased rates of bolus dosing.
Study context
- Population
- Real-world European LibreView users who integrated a connected insulin pen by January 1, 2024; most recent 90-day window with ≥30 days' glucose data and ≥15 days of bolus doses80.6 days/user
- Participants
- 10,993 users
- Exposure
- Categories of intermittently-scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) scan frequency and bolus frequency
- Outcome
- TIR 70-180 mg/dL (3.9-10.0 mmol/L)
