Dysglycemic Events after Initiation of Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients with Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Initiating isCGM was associated with improved glycemia (reduced A1c, more patients with A1c <8% and <9%), but not the incidence of acute dysglycemic (hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic) events.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
pre-post
- Initiating isCGM associated with improved glycemia (reduced HbA1c, more patients with HbA1c <8% and <9%)
- Initiating isCGM not associated with incidence of acute dysglycemic (hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic) events
Observational data: associations, not effects.
