Feasibility of Using the CGM During TOC From in Persons With T2D Using Insulin

The Freestyle Libre is a device worn on the back of the arm to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. The device is applied by the patient and can be worn for 14 days, at which time it is replaced with a new device. The device does not require calibration with blood glucose testing. A scan with the receiver or a cell phone can be used to obtain glucose levels. The device does not alarm, so scanning is the only way for a patient to know if they are hypo or hyperglycemic. Studies have shown that the use of this technology can improve glycemic control as measured by Hemoglobin A1c and glucose variability in some patients. In addition, use of this technology in the outpatient setting has been associated with both improved patient satisfaction and increased glucose monitoring
