Abstract

Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been the traditional method for assessing glycemic control. However, it does not reflect intra- and interday glycemic excursions that may lead to acute events (such as hypoglycemia) or postprandial hyperglycemia, which have been linked to both microvascular and macrovascular complications. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), either from real-time use (rtCGM) or intermittently viewed (iCGM), addresses many of the limitations inherent in HbA1c testing and self-monitoring of blood glucose. Although both provide the means to move beyond the HbA1c measurement as the sole marker of glycemic control, standardized metrics for analyzing CGM data are lacking. Moreover, clear criteria for matching people with diabetes to the most appropriate glucose monitoring methodologies, as well as standardized advice about how best to use the new information they provide, have yet to be established. In February 2017, the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) Congress convened an international panel of physicians, researchers, and individuals with diabetes who are expert in CGM technologies to address these issues. This article summarizes the ATTD consensus recommendations and represents the current understanding of how CGM results can affect outcomes.

  • In many countries, the benefits and utility of CGM are now recognized by national and international medical organizations for individuals with insulin-requiring diabetes and/or those at risk for hypoglycemia.

    “In many countries, the benefits and utility of CGM are now recognized by national and international medical organizations for individuals with insulin-requiring diabetes and/or those at risk for hypoglycemia (16-21).”

    From Clinical Targets for Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data Interpretation: Recommendations From the International Consensus on Time in Range (2019) · cites this paper as [18]

    The International Consensus recommendations say CGM should be considered for people with type 1 diabetes and for people with type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy who are not meeting glucose targets, especially those with problematic hypoglycemia. This supports recognition of CGM’s utility by an international expert panel. The passages do not establish that national medical organizations in many countries recognize its benefits.

  • Correlations of fructosamine with HbA1c and mean blood glucose were examined in 4 observational studies.

    “Correlations of fructosamine with HbA1c and mean blood glucose were examined in 4 observational studies.”

    From KDIGO 2022 Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes Management in Chronic Kidney Disease (2022) · cites this paper as [198]

    The “Limitations of HbA1c” section discusses the relationship between mean glucose and fructosamine. It does not say that four observational studies examined correlations of fructosamine with both HbA1c and mean blood glucose. (LLM, conf=0.72)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The list of core CGM metrics has now been streamlined for use in clinical practice based on the expert opinion of this International Consensus Group.

    “The list of core CGM metrics has now been streamlined for use in clinical practice based on the expert opinion of this International Consensus Group (18).”
  • The AGP recommendation was endorsed at the international consensus conference on CGM metrics and referenced in ADA 2019 Standards of Care and AACE consensus.

    “This recommendation was later endorsed at the aforementioned international consensus conference on CGM metrics (18) and is referenced as an example in the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2019 Standards of Care (16) and in an update to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) consensus on use of CGM (69).”
  • CGM helps characterize the timing, amplitude, and frequency of excursions, and provides quantitative metrics such as TIR, time in hypoglycemia (TBR) and hyperglycemia (TAR), and indices of glycemic variability, which are increasingly used as clinically meaningful targets in diabetes management.

    “CGM helps characterize the timing, amplitude, and frequency of excursions [133–139], and provides quantitative metrics such as TIR, time in hypoglycemia (TBR) and hyperglycemia (TAR), and indices of glycemic variability, which are increasingly used as clinically meaningful targets in diabetes management [140–144].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
