Implementation Strategies for Inpatient Continuous Glucose Monitoring-based Diabetes Management: A Systematic Review

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Systematic review

Authors' conclusion

We observed considerable variation in the detail and clarity provided by the reviewed protocols. This highlights the need for standardized operational protocols for CGM-based insulin titration and related implementation strategies to implement CGM effectively in non-ICU settings.
