The Impact of Baseline User Characteristics on the Benefits of Real-Time Versus Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Moderator Analyses of the ALERTT1 Trial

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Secondary analysis of the ALERTT1 randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Except for HFS-worry score, no interactions between 14 baseline characteristics and the six-month intervention effect of rtCGM on TIR, HbA1c, or time <54 mg/dL were observed, supporting the conclusion of ALERTT1 that switching from isCGM without alerts to rtCGM with alert functionality is beneficial for a wide range of people with T1D.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D in the ALERTT1 trial
Comparison
Real-time CGM (rtCGM) with alerts vs intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) without alerts
Primary endpoint
Dependency of the difference (delta) in mean TIR, HbA1c, time <54 mg/dL and HFS-worry score between rtCGM and isCGM on 14 baseline characteristics
Follow-up
Six months
Methodological detailspost hoc, moderator analyses
  • Post hoc
  • Moderator analyses

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Moderation of rtCGM vs isCGM effect by 14 baseline characteristics
Delta HFS-worry score depended on baseline HbA1c; less worries with rtCGM in people with baseline HbA1c <6.5% or ≥8%
P = .0059
