Patient Use

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, available for patient use since 1999, and realtime continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) systems, available since 2006, have helped optimize diabetes management. Previously, RT-CGM studies found benefits mainly in patients with type 1 diabetes over the age of 25. Children and adolescents often present a challenge when managing type 1 diabetes. However, it is now apparent that RT-CGM has clear benefits in these age groups as well as in adults. Not only have studies shown improvements in glycemic control in this population, they have also demonstrated parental satisfaction with the technology. Challenges with RT-CGM use still exist and must be addressed. Nevertheless, RT-CGM is a beneficial tool to assist in diabetes management, and its use should be encouraged in the majority of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes.
