Accuracy of Two CGM Systems Tested Simultaneously in Ambulatory Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a tool used in the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a subcutaneous tissue sensor, which provides a tissue fluid glucose measurement every 1 to 5 minutes. Since CGM measure the glucose level by a sensor in subcutaneous tissue, there is uncertainty in the estimation of blood glucose levels. The accuracy of a certain CGM system can be assessed by comparing the glucose levels estimated by CGM with measured glucose levels in plasma. In the current study, we will compare the accuracy of the 2 CGM systems available on the market for clinical use in patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim of the current study is to evaluate effectiveness, safety and treatment satisfaction with 2 different CGM systems among adult type 1 diabetic patients.
