Research Spotlight: Glycemic Outcomes with Early Initiation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in Recently Diagnosed Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
- Initiating CGM within the 1st year of diagnosis was associated with better glucose control and fewer diabetes-related ER visits.
- CGM initiation with the 1st year of diagnosis is shown to be effective in lower and maintaining A1C.
- Studies have shown that complications can occur, and glycemic patterns form within the first 5 years of T1D. Thus, initiating CGM within the first year of diagnosis may help to improve long-term glycemic control and may reduce future diabetes-related complications.
