Prevention of hypoglycemia by intermittent-scanning continuous glucose monitoring device combined with structured education in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus: A randomized, crossover trial
Authors' conclusion
The use of isCGM combined with structured education significantly reduced the time below range in patients with T1DM.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T1D using MDI
- Participants
- 104 adults
- Comparison
- Intermittent-scanning continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) with structured education vs self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)
- Primary endpoint
- Decrease in time below range (TBR) (<70 mg/dL)
