Benefits and limitations of hypo/hyperglycemic alarms associated with continuous glucose monitoring in individuals with diabetes

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) has improved the diabetes follow up. The use of CGM can be expected to reduce the long-term complications of diabetes. To achieve this, education of physicians and diabetic individuals is essential. The latest CGMs have alarms to improve glycemic control by avoiding hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, hence the importance of proper setting of these alarms. Although useful to signal these events, we have noted that these alarms do not necessarily meet with unanimity in consultations… Are alarms considered a comfort or a possible disturbance ?
