Impact of short-term application of continuous glucose monitoring system(Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS)) on long-term glycemic profile in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus: An open-label randomized control cross over study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Intermittent application of CGMS for 2 weeks improves short- and long-term blood glucose control in T1D.

Study context

Population
Adolescents and adults with T1Drandomized 1:1:2
Participants
68 adolescents
Comparison
Short-term rtCGM and isCGM vs SMBG only
Primary endpoint
Change in HbA1c
Follow-up
3 months
Methodological detailsopen-label, crossover
  • Open-label
  • Crossover

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

HbA1c · 3 and 6 months
  • HbA1c decreased significantly in Groups A and B at 6 months vs baseline, but not in Group C
  • Group A vs Group C: HbA1c significantly lower in Group A at 3 and 6 months

Further findings

Fructosamine

Fructosamine significantly decreased in Group B before and after cross-over

Glycemic variability indices

Glycemic variability indices improved significantly after cross-over from isCGM to rtCGM
