Rapid increase in continuous glucose monitoring use among adults with type 1 diabetes admitted to hospital: a Melbourne multicentre observational study
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology is transforming community diabetes management. Interest in the utility of CGM during hospitalisation is increasing. This multicentre retrospective observational study found that, among adult inpatients with type 1 diabetes, the proportion with inpatient CGM glucose data in hospital-linked CGM software accounts increased from 3.2% in 2021 to 20.5% in 2023. This study highlights the need for hospital-based clinicians to familiarise themselves with CGM technology.
