Introduction
We conducted a meta-analysis and comprehensive review to determine how continuous
glucose monitors (CGM) affected the proportion of people with type 1 diabetes who had an
HbA1C. The inclusion criteria were satisfied by studies including people (18 years of age and
older) with type 1 diabetes. We also took into consideration participants with various medical
problems. Compared to conventional treatment, which may involve insulin pumps, daily insulin
injections, or regular monitoring, the intervention of interest was CGM. The key outcome
measure was HbA1C (in %); randomized trials were eligible.
A brief synopsis of the included studies is given in the summary table that follows:
