Transitioning from Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose to Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Combination with a mHealth App Improves Glycemic Control in People with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Study context
- Population
- Users of the mySugr app with T1D or T2D
- Participants
- 1,271 users
- Exposure
- Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) vs prior self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), with mHealth app
- Outcome
- Glycemic control
- Follow-up
- 1, 2, 3 and 6 months of rtCGM use
Methodological detailsbefore–after comparison, mixed-effects linear regression model
- Before–after comparison
- Mixed-effects linear regression model
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Transitioning to rtCGM significantly improved glycemic control in the entire cohort, particularly among new mySugr users
- Change in glucose sustained throughout the observation period
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- T1D had a greater reduction in glycemic variance; T2D a relatively larger decrease in monthly averages
