Reduced Rate of Hospitalizations for Acute Diabetes Events Before and After FreeStyle Libre ® System Initiation in Some People With Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin-Secretagogue Oral Drug Therapy Without Insulin in France
Authors' conclusion
This study suggests the value of the FSL system in reducing ADEs in some people with T2DM in France being treated with insulin-secretagogues without insulin.
Study context
- Population
- People with T2D on oral insulin-secretagogues without insulin, first FSL reimbursement between August 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018, France
- Participants
- 1,272 people
- Exposure
- 12 months before vs up to 24 months after FreeStyle Libre initiation
- Outcome
- Hospitalization for any acute diabetes event (ADE): hypoglycemic events, DKA, comas, hyperglycemia-related admissions (ICD-10 codes)
Methodological detailsbefore-after, national claims database (SNDS), exploratory analysis
