The HbA1c, coefficient of variation of glucose levels and hypoglycaemia in a pediatric sample when using continuous glucose monitoring

Objectives The aim of this article is to measure the HbAc1, the coefficient of variation of glucose levels and the occurrence of hypoglycaemia, when using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Study design This is a retrospective study. Data are collected from type 1 diabetes mellitus, T1DM, children diagnosed between 2003 and 2017 in the Pediatric Unit of Diabetes in Zaragoza, Spain. Methods Descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The use of CGM for 3-6 months decreased the HbAc1 and the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia. Conclusions Continuous glucose monitoring device helped in the management of diabetes, although more research is needed to analyse the influence of other variables in the relations studied.
