Authors' objectives:
To summarise the available evidence on continuous glucose monitoring in the management of diabetes mellitus.
Authors' recommendations:
- Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) measure interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose and provide information about continuous glucose fluctuations that is not otherwise captured by intermittent blood glucose testing.
- CGMs may benefit patients having difficulty controlling their blood sugar or during initiation or monitoring of insulin pump use.
- CGMs require calibration with finger-stick tests and supplement, but do not replace conventional blood glucose testing.
- CGM values correspond to blood glucose values taken approximately 13-18 minutes earlier and may differ from metered readings.
