Switching from Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring with a Predictive Urgent Low Soon Alert Reduces Exposure to Hypoglycemia
Authors' conclusion
In conclusion, adults with T1D who switched from isCGM to rtCGM may benefit from reduced exposure to hypoglycemia and glycemic variability.

Secondary outcomes
| Outcome | P value |
|---|---|
| Time in hypoglycaemia <3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) · 12 weeksLess time after switching to rtCGM | P = 0.006 |
| Achievement of time <3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) of <4% · 12 weeksHigher achievement after switching to rtCGM | P = 0.005 |
| CV · 12 weeksLower after switching to rtCGM | P = 0.008 |
Time in hypoglycaemia <3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) · 12 weeks
- Less time in hypoglycaemia <3.9 mmol/L after switching to rtCGM
Achievement of time <3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) of <4% · 12 weeks
- Higher % achievement of time <3.9 mmol/L of <4% after switching to rtCGM
CV · 12 weeks
- CV was lower after switching to rtCGM
