Abstract

Symposium 4: Biology and technology in the treatment of diabetes

Continuous glucose monitoring

The results of the T1D Exchange's study of 2019, comparing the outcomes of data collected on 2010-2012 and 2016-2018, proof that only 21% of the participants reach the 7% A1c target and that the adolescent group worsened their metabolic control. Moreover, hypoglycemia is still a restricting factor that prevents reaching optimal glycemic control. 

According to the recommendations of ADA 2020, ISPAD 2018 and other scientific associations, glycemic self-monitoring and a structured education is crucial for patients with diabetes. Self-monitoring should be performed either with a glucose meter, 6 to 10 times per day, or by using different available systems of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) related or not to insulin pumps.
