CONCLUSIONS
High-quality evidence shows that the Flash Glucose Monitoring System, version for patients, compared with the test strip monitoring system considerably decreases clinically significant hypoglycemias, in adults with type 2 diabetes receiving insulin therapy with inadequate metabolic control as well as in adults with type 1 diabetes with an adequate metabolic control.
Low-quality evidence suggests that the Flash Glucose Monitoring System might provide positive results in the quality of life and glucose control in patients 13 to 19 years old under treatment with insulin when compared with the test strip monitoring system.
Low-quality evidence suggests that the Flash Glucose Monitoring System, version for patients, does not significantly reduce time with hypoglycemia when compared with continuous monitoring in adult patients with type 1 diabetes and high risk for hypoglycemia.
Most coverage policies from high-income countries surveyed recommend the use of the Flash Glucose Monitoring System to control diabetic patients receiving insulin therapy, over 4 years old or over 18 years old in other cases.
Most clinical practice guidelines mention its use in diabetic patients receiving insulin therapy, based on their type of diabetes and metabolic control.
No cost-effectiveness evidence was found in the local setting. In some high-income countries, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio remains within the accepted range.
