Antidiabetic agents used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, such as the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists (RAs), the dual Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide and GLP-1 RA and the Sodium-Glucose co-Transporter 2 inhibitors are associated with clinically significant weight loss and cardioprotective effect. Given the increased prevalence of overweight, obesity, and cardiovascular risk in patients with T1D, the addition of these medications to AID treatment is of considerable clinical interest. In this review limited data from randomized controlled and observational trials show that in overweight and obese patients with T1D treated with AID, the addition of weekly semaglutide, or tirzepatide is associated with significant weight loss, reduction in total daily insulin dose and increase in Time In target Range (TIR) without increased risk for hypoglycemia and Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Similarly, adjunctive treatment with empagliflozin resulted in increased TIR without increase in hypoglycemia, reduction in insulin requirements, and increase in the mean plasma ketone value, although DKA remained rare. However, studies of longer duration with more participants are required to establish the long-term safety and efficacy of these interventions in patients with T1D treated with AID.</p>","PeriodicalId":11159,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes technology & therapeutics","volume":" ","pages":"15209156261486127"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148891232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides time-resolved glucose profiles, trend information, alerts, and remote data sharing, making it well suited to safety-focused geriatric diabetes care.In this narrative review, we synthesize evidence on CGM features, randomized and real-world outcomes, patient and caregiver experience, barriers to sustained use, and practical implementation in older adults. Across studies, the principal benefits of CGM vary by diabetes type and treatment context. In older adults with type 1 diabetes, randomized evidence most consistently supports reduced hypoglycemia exposure and time below range, whereas in basal-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, CGM primarily improves time in range and reduces hyperglycemia. CGM may also support individualized treatment adjustment by revealing nocturnal hypoglycemia, GV, and postprandial patterns that are missed by intermittent testing.Real-world studies associate CGM use with fewer acute diabetes events and hospitalizations in selected insulin-treated populations, but residual confounding limits causal interpretation. Implementation evidence shows that benefit depends on more than device performance. Usability, skin tolerability, education, alert burden, caregiver workflows, digital literacy, cost, and equitable access strongly influence sustained use.We propose a pragmatic geriatric CGM pathway with an explicit triage algorithm that emphasizes risk-based candidate selection, functional assessment, tailored device and support models, individualized alerts and glycemic goals, focused review of CGM metrics, structured education, and early follow-up. Current evidence supports CGM primarily as a safety and decision-support technology for selected older adults, particularly those using insulin or at elevated hypoglycemia risk. Future studies should include frail and cognitively impaired populations and prioritize severe hypoglycemia, falls, treatment burden, caregiver burden, acute care use, quality of life, and scalable delivery models.</p>","PeriodicalId":11159,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes technology & therapeutics","volume":" ","pages":"15209156261485635"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148879317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
