Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Hypoglycemia in Older Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial
RCT (n=203) found that among adults aged >60 years with type 1 diabetes, continuous glucose monitoring compared with standard blood glucose monitoring resulted in a small improvement in hypoglycaemia over 6 months (difference = -1.9% time [or -27 minutes] at <70mg/dL, p<0.001).
