Scientific titleUtility of continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) in children with type I diabetes on intensive treatment regimens
Study objectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect on diabetes control of guiding insulin adjustment with four cycles of CGMS over 3 months in children on near-physiological insulin replacement regimen.
Ethics approval(s)This study was approved by the ethics committee of The Children’s Hospital Westmead.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes
InterventionTwo arms:
1. Intervention arm has CGMS monitoring for 3 days every 3 weeks over a 3 month period (4 cycles)
2. Control arm that continues traditional intermittent blood glucose level (BGL) monitoring

Each 3 weeks, the insulin doses will be reviewed and adjusted based on either the CGMS or intermittent BGL data. Change in HbA1c will be compared between the two groups.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Diabetes control, measured using HbA1c and fructosamine measured at baseline and 6 and 12 weeks.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. HbA1c, measured using ion-exchange high-pressure liquid chromatography (Bio-Rad Laboratories)
2. Fructosamine, measured using Cobras Integras system
