Abstract
Aims/introduction: This study evaluated the usability, satisfaction, and accuracy of a real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) attending a summer camp.
Materials and methods: Seven children and adolescents with T1D (camper) and 31 of healthcare providers (HCPs) participating in a 2-day summer camp in Kumamoto, Japan were enrolled. The usability and satisfaction were evaluated by tailored questionnaire. The accuracy of rt-CGM was evaluated using self-monitoring of blood glucose (BG) and sensor glucose (SG) values before or after (off camp) and during (on camp) the camp.
Results: The score of the usefulness of rt-CGM showed 3.29 ± 0.90 in campers and 4.23 ± 0.87 in HCPs (P = 0.017). The degree of recommendation score for rt-CGM was 3.29 ± 1.11 in campers and 4.23 ± 0.79 in HCPs (P = 0.013). Time in range (TIR) off camp was 45.9% and that on camp was 57.0%. Time above range (TAR) off camp was 53.4% and that on camp was 42.4%. The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) off camp was 19.7% ± 25.2%, whereas that on camp was 16.0% ± 14.8% (P = 0.367). Clinically acceptable zones of the error grid analyses were approximately 96% in total.
Conclusions: Rt-CGM exhibited higher usability and recommendation scores in HCPs than those in campers. This may be related to relatively lower accuracy in rt-CGM. Overall usability and recommendation are clinically satisfactory, but due to relatively low accuracy, no decision should be made based on a single, non-verified SG value alone.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
