Include Exclude

• Quantitative measures of acceptability and feasibility, such as the following:

 ◦ Completeness of data collection (e.g. percentage of days per week period with data available, percentage of sensors returned)

 ◦ Patient-reported measures of acceptability, including measures of treatment satisfaction (e.g. questionnaires)

 ◦ Number (or percentage) of participants declining CGM

 ◦ Studies stopping early, e.g. due to recruitment issues

• Qualitative data relating to the experience of using CGM from a service user, carer, and/or healthcare professional perspective in a research and/or clinical practice context

• Quantitative studies not reporting any feasibility or acceptability data, e.g.:

 ◦ Studies reporting only clinical diabetes outcomes (e.g. impact on HbA1c)

 ◦ Studies reporting outcomes like quality of life, diabetes burden, or adverse events that are not direct measures of acceptability (e.g. adverse skin reactions or infections)

• Qualitative studies exploring the lived experience of individuals with diabetes, their carers, and/or healthcare professionals more broadly without a direct focus on CGM
