Abstract
Despite the growing evidence supporting the outpatient use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for improving glycaemic control and reducing hypoglycaemia, there is a need for a detailed understanding of the specific features of CGM devices that best meet individual patient needs. This expert opinion, based on a comprehensive literature review and the personal perspectives of clinicians, aims to provide the healthcare professionals (HCPs) with a comprehensive framework for selecting CGM devices. It evaluates the current state of CGM technology, categorizing features into essential features, major drivers of choice, and additional/useful features. Moreover, the practical model presented outlines a patient's journey with CGM, emphasising the importance of aligning device features with patient needs. This includes understanding the patient's lifestyle, clinical conditions, and personal preferences to optimize CGM use and improve diabetes management outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
