Demographic variation in continuous glucose monitoring utilisation among patients with type 1 diabetes from a US regional academic medical centre: a retrospective cohort study, 2018–2021
In this retrospective review of patients with T1D receiving care at a regional academic medical centre from 2018 to 2021, nearly half of our sample used CGM. However, we found substantial variation in CGM utilisation with lower rates among older versus younger adults and individuals covered by public versus private insurance. Enhancing CGM access is important to mitigate diabetes-related complications for all patients with T1D.
