Effect of treatment guidance using a retrospective continuous glucose monitoring system on glycaemic control in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized controlled trial*
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of treatment guidance based on data from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device on glycaemic control, and patient satisfaction, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Sumario: | OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of treatment guidance based on data from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device on glycaemic control, and patient satisfaction, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: Patients with poorly-controlled T2DM treated with insulin were randomly assigned to the intervention or nonintervention group. Continuous blood-glucose levels were recorded for 4–5 days using a CGM device on three separate occasions during the 8-month study period. The intervention group received treatment guidance based on the CGM data; the nonintervention group received advice based on blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) levels. RESULTS: A total of 34 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean ± SD baseline HbA(1c) was 8.2 ± 1.2% in the intervention group and 8.2 ± 0.9% in the nonintervention group. At the study end, there was no significant difference in the change from baseline of HbA(1c) between the two groups. There was also no significant difference in the change from baseline in the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire score between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The present study did not demonstrate that treatment guidance using retrospective CGM data was effective for improving glycaemic control and therapeutic satisfaction in Japanese patients with T2DM. |
