- Implementation of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in adults with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes led to reduced acute diabetes-related hospitalizations from 74.6 to 27.5 per 10,000 person-years.
- Mean HbA1c decreased by 0.44% (from 8.09% to 7.65%) after isCGM initiation, with cardiovascular hospitalization rates remaining stable.
- Hospital length of stay decreased, and total inpatient costs were reduced by approximately $3.8 million, showing lower health care costs and changed cardiovascular hospitalization trends.
