BACKGROUND: The impact of 7-day real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM)
on type 1 diabetes (T1D) management remains unknown in youths with suboptimal
control by multiple daily injections (MDI). The DIACCOR Study aimed to describe
treatment decisions and glucose outcomes after a short-term RT-CGM sequence in
real-life conditions.
METHODS: This French multicenter longitudinal observational study included T1D
youths with HbA1c>7.5% or a history of severe hypoglycemia (SH) or recurrent
documented hypoglycemia. A sensor was inserted at the study-inclusion visit, and
one of three predefined treatment changes was proposed by the investigator within
7-15 days: INT=MDI intensification, CSII=switch to continuous insulin infusion,
or ER=educational reinforcement with no change in insulin regimen and a 4-month
follow-up visit (M4) was scheduled.
RESULTS: A total of 229 children (12.2±3.5 years old) were recruited by 74
pediatricians; 12.8% had a history of SH, 22.2% had recurrent hypoglycemia.
Baseline HbA1c was 8.7±1.5% (>7.5% in 82.8%). Overall, 139 (79.4%), 19 (10.9%),
and 17 patients (9.7%) were, respectively, included in the INT, CSII, and ER
subgroups. At M4, the global incidence of SH and recurrent hypoglycemia dropped
(3.4% vs. 12.8% and 6.0% vs. 22.2%, respectively) as well as the incidence of
ketoacidosis (2.1% vs. 8.1%) or ketosis (6.9% vs. 11.4%). The HbA1c decrease was
significant overall and in the INT subgroup (adjusted difference -0.29%,
P=0.009). The satisfaction rate was≥93.0% among children.
CONCLUSION: In a real-life setting, a 1-week RT-CGM can promote treatment
optimization in youths with uncontrolled T1D resulting mostly in less acute
events. CGM acceptance may improve with new-generation sensors.
