Abstract
The American Diabetes Association (ADA), European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS), American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), and Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) convened a panel of internists and diabetologists to update the ADA consensus statement on hyperglycemic crises in adults with diabetes, published in 2001 and last updated in 2009. The objective of this consensus report is to provide up-to-date knowledge about the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) in adults. A systematic examination of publications since 2009 informed new recommendations. The target audience is the full spectrum of diabetes health care professionals and individuals with diabetes.

Ajjan RA, Seidu S, Riveline JP. Perspective of Continuous Glucose Monitoring-Based Interventions at the Various Stages of Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:1657-1672. [PMID: 38907936 PMCID: PMC11263446 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-024-01607-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is now advocated for the clinical management of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, this glucose monitoring strategy is not routinely used in type 2 diabetes (T2D), given the large population, significant cost implications and relatively limited supporting evidence. T2D is a more heterogenous condition compared with T1D with various glucose lowering therapies that do not necessarily require CGM to ensure within target glucose levels. While all individuals with T2D may benefit from CGM at certain time points, the whole T2D population does not necessarily require this technology continuously, which should be prioritized based on patient benefit and cost effectiveness. In this pragmatic opinion piece, we describe the rationale and evidence for CGM use in different subgroups of individuals with T2d, divided according to the stage of the condition, glycemic therapies, presence of diabetes complications, or associated co-morbidities. We discuss a total of 16 T2D subgroups and provide a clinical view on CGM use in each, based on current evidence while also highlighting areas of knowledge gaps. This work provides health care professionals with a simple guide to CGM use in different T2D groups and gives suggestion for future studies to justify expansion of this technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND International longitudinal studies have indicated an increasing incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We aim to examine the incident trends, demographic differences, length of stay and mortality for DKA in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Victoria, Australia from 2002 to 2016. METHODS Age and sex adjusted incident trends, length of stay and mortality for DKA was retrospectively obtained using the Victorian Admitted Episode Dataset between 2002 and 2016. Data for adults with T1D and T2D was obtained from the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS). Joinpoint regression analysis was used to identify changes in linear trends that were described as average annual percentage change (AAPC). RESULTS There were 23,628 DKA presentations in Victoria between 2002 and 2016. For T1D there was an increase in DKA presentations (AAPC + 6.8%) from 2003 to 2016 and for T2D there was a decline from 2003 to 2011 (APC - 3.5%), increase from 2011 to 2014 (APC + 38.5%), and a decrease from 2014 to 2016 (APC - 20.9%). Length of stay was longer for people with T2D than T1D (P < 0.001) and the mortality rate was 0.51% for the study period. CONCLUSIONS DKA rates increased for T2D from 2011 to 2014 which correlates with the introduction of sodium glucose-linked transport protein 2 inhibitors. However, the aetiology for the observed increase in T1D from 2002 to 2016 remains unknown.

Abstract
Although continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are now considered the standard of care for people with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the uptake among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been slower and is focused on those receiving intensive insulin therapy. However, increasing evidence now supports the inclusion of CGM in the routine care of people with T2DM who are on basal insulin-only regimens or are managed with other medications. Expanding CGM to these groups could minimize hypoglycaemia while allowing efficient adaptation and escalation of therapies. Increasing evidence from randomized controlled trials and observational studies indicates that CGM is of clinical value in people with T2DM on non-intensive treatment regimens. If further studies confirm this finding, CGM could soon become a part of routine care for T2DM. In this Perspective we explore the potential benefits of widening the application of CGM in T2DM, along with the challenges that must be overcome for the evidence-based benefits of this technology to be delivered for all people with T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the effectiveness of the intermittent-scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system in preventing severe hypoglycemic episodes and in improving glucose parameters and quality of life. METHODS Four hundred T1D individuals were enrolled in a prospective real-word study with an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring device during the 12-months follow-up. The primary endpoint was the incidence of severe hypoglycemic events. RESULTS 82% of subjects were naïve to the use of the device (group A) and 18% were already wearing the system (group B). The cumulative incidence of severe hypoglycemia (SH) at 12 months was 12.06 per 100 person-year (95% CI: 8.35-16.85) in group A and 10.14 (95% CI: 4.08-20.90) in group B without inter-group differences. In group A there was a significant decrease in SH at 12 months compared to 3 months period (p = 0.005). Time in glucose range significantly increased in both groups accompanied with a significant decrease in glucose variability. HbA1c showed a progressive significant time-dependent decrease in group A. The use of the device significantly improved the perceived quality of life. CONCLUSION This study confirmed the effectiveness of the isCGM in reducing hypoglycemic risk without glucose deterioration, with potential benefits on adverse outcomes in T1D individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to define the distribution of direct healthcare costs for people with diabetes treated in two healthcare regions in Italy, based on number of comorbidities and treatment regimen. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis using data from two local health authority administrative databases (Campania and Umbria) in Italy for the years 2014-2018. Data on hospital care, pharmaceutical and specialist outpatient and laboratory assistance were collected. All people with diabetes in 2014-2018 were identified on the basis of at least one prescription of hypoglycemic drugs (ATC A10), hospitalization with primary or secondary diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (ICD9CM 250.xx) or diabetes exemption code (code 013). Subjects were stratified into three groups according to their pharmaceutical prescriptions during the year: Type 1/type 2 diabetes (T1D/T2D) treated with multiple daily injections with insulin (MDI), type 2 diabetes on basal insulin only (T2D-Basal) and type 2 diabetes not on insulin therapy (T2D-Oral). RESULTS We identified 304,779 people with diabetes during the period for which data was obtained. Analysis was undertaken on 288,097 subjects treated with glucose-lowering drugs (13% T1D/T2D-MDI, 13% T2D-Basal, 74% T2D-Oral). Average annual cost per patient for the year 2018 across the total cohort was similar for people with T1D/T2D-MDI and people with T2D-Basal (respectively €2580 and €2254) and significantly lower for T2D-Oral (€1145). Cost of hospitalization was the main driver (47% for T1D/T2D-MDI, 45% for T2D-Basal, 45% for T2D-Oral) followed by drugs/devices (35%, 39%, 43%) and outpatient services (18%, 16%, 12%). Average costs increased considerably with increasing comorbidities: from €459 with diabetes only to €7464 for a patient with four comorbidities. Similar trends were found across all subgroups analysis. CONCLUSION Annual cost of treatment for people with diabetes is similar for those treated with MDI or with basal insulin only, with hospitalization being the main cost driver. This indicates that both patient groups should benefit from having access to scanning continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology which is known to be associated with significantly reduced hospitalization for acute diabetes events, compared to self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) testing.

Abstract
AIM To estimate the proportion of persons with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) receiving intensive insulin treatment in the secondary healthcare who could be candidates for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), based on different HbA1c criteria. For comparison, the results are also presented as proportion of persons with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) in the same region. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the Central Denmark Region, we identified all persons with T1DM (n = 6179) and T2DM (n = 4315) who had a minimum of one contact to a diabetes outpatient clinic from September 2021 to September 2022. Insulin regimen and HbA1c measured after a minimum of 2 months with a stable insulin regimen were retrieved from the healthcare administrative electronic platform used in the region. RESULTS The numbers of persons with T1DM and T2DM with HbA1c meeting the criteria were 5145 and 3090, respectively. The fraction of T2DM with basal-bolus insulin was 35.3%, and the fraction with basal-bolus insulin and HbA1c >53 (7%) mmol/mol or >58 (7.5%) mmol/mol was 20.5% and 16.6%, respectively. These proportions correspond to 19.4%, 14.4% and 11.7% of the persons with T1DM in the same geographical area. CONCLUSION The proportion of persons with T2DM in secondary healthcare undergoing intensive insulin treatment who could be candidates for CGM corresponded to only a minor fraction of persons with T1DM in the same region, irrespective of any HbA1c criteria applied.

Abstract
AIM To understand the effect of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in people with diabetes with a 'psychosocial' indication for access. METHODS The study utilized baseline and follow-up data from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists nationwide audit of people with diabetes in the UK. Diabetes-related distress (DRD) was assessed using the two-item diabetes-related distress scale (DDS). Participants were categorized into two groups: high DRD (DDS score ≥ 3) and lower DRD (DDS score < 3). The t-test was used to assess the difference in the pre- and post-isCGM continuous variables. RESULTS The study consisted of 17 036 people with diabetes, with 1314 (7%) using isCGM for 'psychosocial' reasons. Follow-up data were available for 327 participants, 322 (99%) of whom had type 1 diabetes with a median diabetes duration of 15 years; 75% (n = 241) had high levels of DRD. With the initiation of isCGM, after a mean follow-up period of 6.9 months, there was a significant reduction in DDS score; 4 at baseline versus 2.5 at follow-up (P < .001). The prevalence of high DRD reduced from 76% to 38% at follow-up (50% reduction in DRD, P < .001). There was also a significant reduction in HbA1c (78.5 mmol/mol [9.3%] at baseline vs. 66.5 mmol/mol [8.2%] at follow-up; P < .001). This group also experienced an 87% reduction in hospital admissions because of hyperglycaemia/diabetic ketoacidosis (P < .001). CONCLUSION People with diabetes who had isCGM initiated for a psychosocial indication had high levels of DRD and HbA1c, which improved with the use of isCGM.

Association Between Adherence, A1C Improvement, and Type of Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in People with Type 1 Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Intensive Insulin Therapy. Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:639-648. [PMID: 38289464 PMCID: PMC10942933 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-023-01529-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems by people with diabetes is associated with improved glycemic outcomes, including lower glycated hemoglobin (A1C). Less is known about adherence to CGM systems, whether glycemic outcomes are impacted by levels of adherence, or whether adherence rates differ between types of CGM systems-intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) or real-time CGM (rtCGM). METHODS A retrospective analysis of de-identified US administrative health claims and linked laboratory data was conducted using the Merative™ MarketScan® Research Database. The cohort included CGM-naïve people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes treated with intensive insulin therapy (T2D-IIT) who initiated rtCGM or isCGM between August 1, 2019 and March 31, 2021 (defined as the index date). Adherence was calculated over a 12-month period using the proportion of days covered (PDC) with PDC ≥ 0.8 defined as adherent. A1C values were obtained within 6 months of the index date. RESULTS A total of 7669 individuals were identified. Subgroups included T1D using isCGM (n = 1578), T1D using rtCGM (n = 1244), T2D-IIT using isCGM (n = 3567), and T2D-IIT using rtCGM (n = 1280). After 12 months, PDC was 0.71 (0.30)-0.72 (0.31) (mean(SD)) for T1D and T2D-IIT rtCGM users and 0.55 (0.34)-0.56 (0.34) for T1D and T2D-IIT isCGM users. The proportion of adherent users (PDC ≥ 0.8) was 56.8-59.7% for rtCGM users and 36.3-37.6% for isCGM users. Overall, regardless of diabetes type, the odds of adherence were over two times higher for rtCGM users compared to isCGM users. For those with available A1C information (T1D n = 213; T2D-IIT n = 346), independent of CGM type, adherence to CGM was associated with a greater reduction in A1C and more people reaching A1C targets of < 7.0% or < 8.0%. CONCLUSION For people with T1D or T2D-IIT, higher adherence to CGM is associated with greater reductions in A1C, and higher adherence rates were observed with rtCGM systems than with isCGM systems.

Seidu S. A Podcast on the Use of CGM in Optimizing Type 2 Diabetes Management with Non-intensive Insulin Treatment in the Primary Care Setting. Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:301-309. [PMID: 38216832 PMCID: PMC10838854 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-023-01524-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes is a widespread health concern with significant implications for patient well-being. Poor glycaemic control can lead to long-term complications, hypoglycaemia and glycaemic variability, highlighting the importance of setting treatment goals. This podcast, "The use of CGM in optimizing type 2 diabetes management with non-intensive insulin treatment in the primary care setting", introduces non-intensive insulin treatment and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as crucial tools in achieving these goals. OBJECTIVES AND RATIONALE The advantages of CGM over blood glucose monitoring (BGM) are explored, emphasizing its real-time glucose data provision and how it empowers patients to make informed treatment decisions. Drawing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the compelling evidence of CGM's effectiveness in patients with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin treatment are discussed. Additionally, the real-world evidence, comparing outcomes between insulin-treated and non-insulin-treated patients are also addressed. The podcast examines the link between glycaemic control and acute complications requiring hospitalizations and how CGM contributes to a better quality of life for patients with type 2 diabetes. Empowering patients is central to this podcast, with a focus on education, engagement and strategies for integrating CGM data into treatment plans. The pivotal role of healthcare providers in supporting patients on non-intensive insulin treatment and CGM in the primary care setting is addressed. Addressing challenges and barriers in CGM adoption, including cost considerations, technology accessibility and patient concerns, is vital to its widespread use. There is also a consideration of the cost-effectiveness of CGM in type 2 diabetes management. The podcast provides insights into when to consider CGM, including intermittent use and data integration with other health technologies. It emphasizes the potential for improved patient outcomes and a reduced burden of type 2 diabetes. Practical tips for interpreting the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) report are shared, benefitting primary care healthcare professionals new to CGM. CONCLUSION The podcast "The use of CGM in optimizing type 2 diabetes management with non-intensive insulin treatment in the primary care setting" highlights the transformative potential of CGM in type 2 diabetes care. It encourages patients and healthcare providers to consider CGM as an integral part of treatment plans, ultimately improving the lives of those living with type 2 diabetes.

Expanding the Role of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Modern Diabetes Care Beyond Type 1 Disease. Diabetes Ther 2023:10.1007/s13300-023-01431-3. [PMID: 37322319 PMCID: PMC10299981 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-023-01431-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Application of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has moved diabetes care from a reactive to a proactive process, in which a person with diabetes can prevent episodes of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, rather than taking action only once low and high glucose are detected. Consequently, CGM devices are now seen as the standard of care for people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Evidence now supports the use of CGM in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on any treatment regimen, not just for those on insulin therapy. Expanding the application of CGM to include all people with T1DM or T2DM can support effective intensification of therapies to reduce glucose exposure and lower the risk of complications and hospital admissions, which are associated with high healthcare costs. All of this can be achieved while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia and improving quality of life for people with diabetes. Wider application of CGM can also bring considerable benefits for women with diabetes during pregnancy and their children, as well as providing support for acute care of hospital inpatients who experience the adverse effects of hyperglycemia following admission and surgical procedures, as a consequence of treatment-related insulin resistance or reduced insulin secretion. By tailoring the application of CGM for daily or intermittent use, depending on the patient profile and their needs, one can ensure the cost-effectiveness of CGM in each setting. In this article we discuss the evidence-based benefits of expanding the use of CGM technology to include all people with diabetes, along with a diverse population of people with non-diabetic glycemic dysregulation.

Real-life 24-week changes in glycemic parameters among European users of flash glucose monitoring with type 1 and 2 diabetes and different levels of glycemic control. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2023:110735. [PMID: 37276981 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2023.110735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate real-life changes of glycemic parameters among flash glucose monitoring (FLASH) users who do not meet glycemic targets. METHODS De-identified data were obtained between 2014 and 2021 from patients using FLASH uninterrupted for a 24-week period. Glycemic parameters during first and last sensor use were examined in four identifiable groups: type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on basal-bolus insulin, T2DM on basal insulin, and T2DM without insulin treatment. Within each group, subgroup analyses were performed in persons with initial suboptimal glycemic regulation (time in range (TIR; 3.9-10 mmol/L) <70%, time above range (TAR; >10 mmol/L) >25%, or time below range (TBR; <3.9 mmol/L) >4%). RESULTS Data were obtained from 1,909 persons with T1DM and 1,813 persons with T2DM (1,499 basal-bolus insulin, 189 basal insulin, and 125 non-insulin users). In most of the performed analyses, both overall and in the various subgroups, significant improvements were observed in virtually all predefined primary (TIR) and secondary endpoints (eHbA1c, TAR, TBR and glucose variability). CONCLUSIONS 24-weeks FLASH use in real life by persons with T1DM and T2DM with suboptimal glycemic regulation is associated with improvement of glycemic parameters, irrespective of pre-use regulation or treatment modality.

The use of isCGM leads to marked reduction in severe hypoglycemia requiring emergency medical service or hospital admission and diabetic ketoacidosis in adult type 1 diabetes patients. Acta Diabetol 2023; 60:891-898. [PMID: 36977968 DOI: 10.1007/s00592-023-02079-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To determine the effect of the use of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) on acute diabetes-related complications in adult type 1 diabetes patients. METHODS Six hundred and forty-two adult type 1 diabetes patients with isCGM were identified from electronic health records in Siun sote region in Eastern Finland. A retrospective real-world analysis was conducted combining hospital admission and prehospital emergency service data to compare incidences of hypoglycemia requiring emergency medical support (EMS) involvement or hospital admission and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) before and after the start of isCGM. Data were collected from January 2015 to April 2020. Primary outcome was the rate of hypoglycemia requiring EMS involvement or hospital admission and DKA events. HbA1c was recorded at the start of isCGM and was compared with the last known HbA1c during the use of isCGM. The isCGM used in the study did not contain alarm functions. RESULTS Altogether 220 hypoglycemic events were identified during the study period. Incidence rate of hypoglycemic events decreased after the start of isCGM (72 events, incidence rate 50 events/1000 person-years) compared with the time before the start (148 events, incidence rate 76 events/1000 person-years) (p = 0.043). The incidence rate of DKA decreased after the start of isCGM compared with time before isCGM use (4 and 15 events/1000 person-years, respectively; p = 0.002). The change in mean HbA1c was - 0.28% (- 3.1 mmol/mol) between baseline and the last HbA1c measurement (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In addition to lowering HbA1c in type 1 diabetes patients, isCGM is also effective in preventing acute diabetes-related complications such as hypoglycemia requiring EMS involvement or hospital admission and DKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to one-third of Canadians are estimated to be living with prediabetes or diabetes. A retrospective study using Canadian private drug claims data was conducted to investigate whether flash glucose monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre system (FSL) among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Canada can be associated with changes in treatment intensification when compared with blood glucose monitoring (BGM) alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a Canadian national private drug claims database comprising approximately 50% coverage of insured individuals in Canada, cohorts of people with T2DM using FSL or BGM were identified algorithmically based on treatment history and followed over a 24-month study period, tracking their progression in diabetes treatment therapy. The Andersen-Gill model for recurrent time-to-event data was used to evaluate whether the rate of treatment progression differs between the FSL and BGM treatment cohorts. The survival function was used to calculate comparative treatment progression probabilities between the cohorts. RESULTS In total, 373 871 people with T2DM met the inclusion criteria. Across treatment (FSL) and control (BGM) groups, people using FSL had a higher probability of treatment progression compared with BGM alone, with a relative risk ranging between 1.86 and 2.81 (p < .001). A higher probability of treatment progression was independent of the diabetes treatment at the enrolment date (index date) or the patient status, and independent of whether patients were treatment naïve or on established diabetes therapy. Assessment of the ending treatment relative to the starting therapy indicated that dynamic treatment changes were most evident for patients in the FSL cohort and that the FSL cohort had a much greater portion of patients who ended with insulin treatment (when they started with non-insulin treatment) compared with the BGM cohort. CONCLUSIONS People with T2DM using FSL had a greater probability for treatment progression compared with BGM alone, irrespective of the starting therapy, which may suggest that FSL can be used to support escalation of diabetes therapy to improve therapeutic inertia in T2DM.

Continuous glucose monitoring and metrics for clinical trials: an international consensus statement. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2023; 11:42-57. [PMID: 36493795 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(22)00319-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 164] [Impact Index Per Article: 164.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Randomised controlled trials and other prospective clinical studies for novel medical interventions in people with diabetes have traditionally reported HbA1c as the measure of average blood glucose levels for the 3 months preceding the HbA1c test date. The use of this measure highlights the long-established correlation between HbA1c and relative risk of diabetes complications; the change in the measure, before and after the therapeutic intervention, is used by regulators for the approval of medications for diabetes. However, with the increasing use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in clinical practice, prospective clinical studies are also increasingly using CGM devices to collect data and evaluate glucose profiles among study participants, complementing HbA1c findings, and further assess the effects of therapeutic interventions on HbA1c. Data is collected by CGM devices at 1-5 min intervals, which obtains data on glycaemic excursions and periods of asymptomatic hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia (ie, details of glycaemic control that are not provided by HbA1c concentrations alone that are measured continuously and can be analysed in daily, weekly, or monthly timeframes). These CGM-derived metrics are the subject of standardised, internationally agreed reporting formats and should, therefore, be considered for use in all clinical studies in diabetes. The purpose of this consensus statement is to recommend the ways CGM data might be used in prospective clinical studies, either as a specified study endpoint or as supportive complementary glucose metrics, to provide clinical information that can be considered by investigators, regulators, companies, clinicians, and individuals with diabetes who are stakeholders in trial outcomes. In this consensus statement, we provide recommendations on how to optimise CGM-derived glucose data collection in clinical studies, including the specific glucose metrics and specific glucose metrics that should be evaluated. These recommendations have been endorsed by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, the American Diabetes Association, the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, DiabetesIndia, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes, the Japanese Diabetes Society, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. A standardised approach to CGM data collection and reporting in clinical trials will encourage the use of these metrics and enhance the interpretability of CGM data, which could provide useful information other than HbA1c for informing therapeutic and treatment decisions, particularly related to hypoglycaemia, postprandial hyperglycaemia, and glucose variability.
