Joint ADA/JDRF Symposium: Benefits of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in
Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
This year, the ADA and JDRF invited experts to answer an important question: Is continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in pediatric patients ready for prime time?
"The answer to our question is a resounding yes," said Dr. David Maahs, who presented an overview of CGM technology and recent advances at the session. "Soon, if not
already, CGM will become the primary method to assess glucose. The only real question
is how soon to start CGM after diagnosis."
CGM offers clear advantages over traditional blood glucose monitoring (BGM), Dr. Maahs
continued. If BGM provides a snapshot, CGM is more like a continuous video that fills in
the enormous data gaps between BGM fingersticks. CGM also reduces the cognitive burden on patients and caregivers. Once patients and caregivers come to trust CGM readings,
fingerstick glucose checking can become a memory rather than an ongoing burden.
Multiple studies presented at the session demonstrated that, in children and adolescents,
adoption of CGM technology led to more time spent in optimal blood glucose ranges.
Importantly, this included results showing less time spent in hypoglycemia, which places
significant physical and psychological burden on patients and caregivers.
