Satisfaction with continuous glucose monitoring and diabetes care among hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes managed by inpatient diabetes teams
Authors' conclusion
Satisfaction with CGM among non-ICU patients with type 2 diabetes managed by inpatient diabetes teams was high, highlighting CGM's potential to enhance patient care in the hospital setting.
Study context
- Population
- Hospitalised non-ICU patients with T2D managed by inpatient diabetes teams
- Participants
- 166 patients
- Comparison
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) vs point-of-care (POC) glucose testing
- CGMn = 84
- POCn = 82reference
- Primary endpoint
- Patient satisfaction with diabetes management, focus on glucose monitoring methods (survey)
- Follow-up
- Discharge

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Satisfied or very satisfied with diabetes treatment during hospitalisation
P = 0.188
- Preferred CGM over POC glucose testing (CGM group)
- 75%
- Comfortable with CGM as primary method for glucose management (CGM group)
- 95%
Further findings
Comfortable with management by inpatient diabetes teams
- Most patients in both groups comfortable (p < 0.001)
- 95%
Safety
- Discomfort from wearing CGM, mainly itching from the sensor
- ≈5%
