Authors' conclusion

In this randomized clinical trial of hospitalized adults with diabetes, CGM threshold glucose alerts modestly improved glycemic control compared with CGM use without alerts. The addition of predictive alerts did not confer further glycemic benefit beyond threshold alerts alone.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D or T2D admitted to endocrinology wards, tertiary hospital; mean age 62 years, 62.1% male, mean HbA1c 9.2%randomized 1:1:1
