Summary of Findings

Outcome Finding GRADE
Time-related glucose variability Continuous glucose monitoring was more effective than usual care in terms of increased time spent in the target glycemic range Moderate to very low
  Continuous glucose monitoring was more effective than usual care in terms of decreasing time spent outside the target glycemic range Moderate
Hypoglycemia There was no substantial difference in hypoglycemic outcomes between patients in the continuous glucose monitoring group and those in the usual care group Low to very low
  Continuous glucose monitoring was more effective than usual care in reducing severe hypoglycemic events Low
A1C levels Results favoured continuous glucose monitoring over usual care in the reduction of A1C levels from baseline Moderate to very low
User satisfaction Findings on end-of-study user satisfaction with continuous glucose monitoring compared with usual care were inconsistent Low to very low
  Findings on children, parent, and caregiver satisfaction with continuous glucose monitoring compared with usual care were inconsistent Low
