Abstract

Aims

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool in the hospital setting, with evidence supporting its accuracy and potential for improving glycaemic and clinical outcomes. However, patient perspectives on the use of CGM in the hospital setting remain underexplored. This study investigates patient satisfaction with CGM during hospitalisation.

Methods

This analysis included 166 hospitalised non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) patients with type 2 diabetes from the DIAbetes TEam and Cgm (DIATEC) trial. Participants were randomised to either point-of-care (POC) glucose testing (n = 82) or CGM (n = 84) for glucose monitoring during their hospital stay and were managed by inpatient diabetes teams. At discharge, patients completed a survey developed for this specific study, assessing their satisfaction with the diabetes management, with a focus on glucose monitoring methods.

Results

Overall satisfaction with the diabetes treatment during hospitalisation was similar in both groups, with 77% of patients in each group reporting being satisfied or very satisfied (p = 0.188). Regarding glucose assessment, 75% in the CGM group preferred CGM over POC glucose testing (p < 0.001). In the CGM group, 95% felt comfortable with CGM being the primary method for glucose management (p < 0.001). Approximately 5% reported discomfort from wearing the CGM, mainly due to itching from the sensor. Most patients (95%) in both groups were comfortable with their diabetes management being handled by inpatient diabetes teams (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Satisfaction with CGM among non-ICU patients with type 2 diabetes managed by inpatient diabetes teams was high, highlighting CGM's potential to enhance patient care in the hospital setting.

住院糖尿病团队对住院2型糖尿病患者持续血糖监测和糖尿病护理的满意度

目的：连续血糖监测（CGM）越来越被认为是医院环境中的一种有价值的工具，有证据支持其准确性和改善血糖和临床结果的潜力。然而，患者对在医院环境中使用CGM的看法仍未得到充分探讨。本研究调查住院期间患者对CGM的满意度。方法：本分析纳入了来自糖尿病小组和Cgm （DIATEC）试验的166例住院非重症监护病房（non-ICU） 2型糖尿病患者。在住院期间，参与者被随机分配到护理点（POC）血糖测试（n = 82）或CGM （n = 84）进行血糖监测，并由住院糖尿病团队管理。出院时，患者完成了一项为该研究开发的调查，评估他们对糖尿病管理的满意度，重点是血糖监测方法。结果：两组患者对住院期间糖尿病治疗的总体满意度相似，每组77%的患者报告满意或非常满意（p = 0.188）。关于血糖评估，75%的CGM组更喜欢CGM而不是POC血糖测试(p结论：由住院糖尿病团队管理的非icu 2型糖尿病患者对CGM的满意度很高，突出了CGM在医院环境中增强患者护理的潜力。

期刊介绍： Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions. The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed. We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services. Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
