Perceived benefits (total mean score) Perceived burdens (total mean score) HbA1c (mean)
Gender
 Male 4.19 P = .822 1.99 P = .773 8.7% P = .411
 Female 4.18 1.97 8.6%
CGM use
 CGM use 4.48 P < .001 1.69 P < .001 8.1% P < .001
 Non-CGM user 4.19 2.35 9.1%
Insulin pump
 Pump use 4.26 P < .001 1.89 P < .001 8.5% P < .003
 MDI 4.03 2.16 8.8%

Mean score scale one to five: one is strongly disagree and five is strongly agree.

The higher the mean score, the greater the benefit or burden.

CGM, continuous glucose monitoring; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; MDI, multiple daily insulin injections.
