- Study investigates the association between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and diabetes-related complications in adults with type 1 diabetes.
- CGM users showed lower rates of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality compared to non-users.
- Severe hypoglycaemia (SH) rates were comparable between CGM users and non-users, but SH frequency decreased by 61.5% after CGM initiation among users.
- DKA and CVD-related hospitalizations or emergency visits decreased by 60.0% and 50.0%, respectively, after CGM use.
- The study concludes that CGM use is associated with reduced acute and chronic diabetes-related complications and mortality in type 1 diabetes patients.
