Continuous Glucose Monitoring vs Conventional Therapy for Glycemic Control in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Treated With Multiple Daily Insulin Injections

Abstract

Intensive insulin therapy resulting in good glycemic control has been shown to prevent and reduce the progression of diabetes-related complications in patients with type 1 diabetes.¹ Today, intensive glycemic control is generally achieved through multiple daily insulin injections or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions through an insulin pump.² Regular self-measured capillary blood glucose values have been crucial to optimal insulin dosing for good glycemic control.^3- 5
