Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adolescents With Poorly Controlled Type 1 Diabetes

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes, HbA1c ≥9% on insulin pumps were admitted to the clinical research center and a continuous glucose sensor was inserted. Sensor glucose (SG) values were compared to plasma glucose measured at least hourly using Yellow Springs Instrument's (YSI) glucose analyzer. SG rather than YSI was used for treatment decisions unless YSI was \<70 mg/dL or specific criteria indicating SG and YSI were very discordant were met.
