More Frequent Use of Glucose Alarms Is Associated with Continuous Glucose Monitoring-Specific Diabetes Education: Findings from the Dia·Link Diabetes Panel
Authors' conclusion
CGM-specific education has the potential to increase utilization of and response to alerts and alarms.
Study context
- Population
- Current continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) users with T1D or T2D in Germany (Dia·Link Diabetes Panel)86.2% T1D
- Participants
- 453 users
- Exposure
- CGM-specific education vs none
- Outcome
- Utilization (use and responses) of glucose alerts and alarms
Methodological detailsonline survey
- Online survey
