Satisfaction with continuous glucose monitoring is positively correlated with time in range in children with type 1 diabetes

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

CGM seems to have a positive effect on glucose control in patients with T1D. CGM satisfaction is therefore an important patient-reported outcome to assess and it is associated with increased TIR and reduced GRI.

Study context

Population
Children and adolescents with T1D using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), 14 Italian pediatric diabetes clinicsconsecutively enrolled

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Association of CGM-SAT scores with glucose control
CGM satisfaction positively correlated with time in range (TIR)
p < 0.05
CGM satisfaction negatively correlated with glycemia risk index (GRI)
p < 0.05

Observational data: associations, not effects.
