The role of continuous glycose monitoring in compensation of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children

Objective: to determine the role of continuous glucose monitoring in achieving compensation in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus with different levels of glycemic control. Material and methods. The evaluation of clinical and metabolic parameters in 80 adolescents with diabetes mellitus with varying degrees of carbohydrate metabolism compensation was carried out. Based on the Flash monitoring data, insulin dosages were corrected, after which the monitoring results were compared before and after the adjustment of insulin therapy. Results. As a result of the correction of insulin therapy in children with HbAc 9% or more, according to monitoring data, the time spent by glycemia in the target range increased. There was no significant increase in the number of hypoglycemia. In patients with HbAc less than 9%, after changing therapy, the number of children with glycemia in the target range significantly increased, and the number of hypoglycemia decreased. The variability of daily glycemia significantly improved (p=0,039). Conclusion. The use of the Flash Glucose Monitoring System in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus made it possible to detail glycemic disorders during the day and to conduct an objective control of the correction of insulin therapy according to its indicators.
