Understanding parents' perspectives of repeated blinded continuous glucose monitoring in children with early‐stage type 1 diabetes and an affected first‐degree relative
Authors' conclusion
Despite the challenges parents face while their child undergoes CGM assessments, they reported repeated blinded CGM as an acceptable form of monitoring that provided valuable knowledge regarding their child's risk of stage 3 type 1 diabetes.
