Benefits of CGM Use by Age in Individuals Using CGM: Mean BenCGM Scores.

Age (years)	Total mean score^	Diabetes care easier	Alarms are helpful	Less fingersticks	Helps with low blood sugar	Feel more secure	Family wants	Diabetes care better	Helps during exercise
2-11	4.67	4.68	4.69	4.57	4.47	4.70	4.70	4.53	4.60
12-18	4.52	4.62	4.43	4.55	4.36	4.45	4.59	4.50	4.47
19-26	4.56	4.69	4.37	4.66	4.59	4.64	4.50	4.59	4.41
27-49	4.42	4.75	4.25	4.23	4.45	4.58	4.22	4.60	4.28
50-64	4.35	4.62	4.17	4.13	4.31	4.51	4.11	4.44	4.19
65+	4.33	4.54	4.34	4.29	4.31	4.46	4.20	4.32	4.28
Total	4.48	4.65	4.38	4.41	4.40	4.54	4.42	4.51	4.38

Mean score scale one to five: one is strongly disagree and five is strongly agree; the higher the mean score, the greater is the burden.

Age <50 years versus ≥50 years, P < .001.

Age <65 years versus ≥65 years, P = .032.
