Retrospective and Prospective Study on Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Insulin-treated Type 2 Diabetes

"On each visit (baseline, 4, 8, and 12 months), participants received an iPro2 CGM device (MiniMed Medtronic), placed according to the manufacturer's standard procedure. The iPro2 was used each time for 7-days. During this period, patients were asked to perform 4 SMBG measurements daily for calibration (fasting, lunch, dinner, and before bed). Patients received a diary to register food intake, physical activity and medication, SMBG values, and any diabetes-related event (extra consultations, phone calls, etc) in the previous 4 months.~Each time, CGM data was interpreted by an expert clinician, and a report was delivered, within one week, to the respective healthcare team. This report was discussed together by the patient and one member of the healthcare team, either in consultation or by phone, agreeing on any necessary therapeutic changes. If necessary, extra consultations for nutrition, nursing, or education, were scheduled, to address specific needs identified during rCGM review."
