OBJECTIVES: Through the analysis of a group of type 2 diabetes patients, the aims of this study are: to evaluate through CGMS (continuous glucose monitoring system) the post-prandial subcutaneous glucose excursions; to analyze the correlations between subcutaneous glucose and capillary glycemia with HbA1c and to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and broadmindedness of the CGMS. METHODS: Forty type 2 diabetes patients were analyzed, with HbA1c until 7.3%, in use of oral agents and within less than a ten-year diagnosis. They were […]

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the accuracy, complications and impact in glycemic control in type 1 diabetic patients (DM1) submitted to 4 or 5 days of CGMS. METHODS: We studied 36 DM1 patients (44.5%M/55.5%F), in three groups without no difference about age, DM duration and A1c levels (p < 0.05), submitted to 72h (G1), 96h (G2) and 120h (G3) CGMS profile. It were analyzed: capillary glycemia (CG) and mean CGMS sensor’s glycemic value; correlation coefficient, median absolute percent difference (MAD%), number of […]

To evaluate the efficacy, safety and complications of continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in type 1 diabetic patients (DM1), we retrospectively studied 30 patients (25.8 ± 12.2 years) submitted to 72hs CGMS (Medtronic; Northridge, CA) and analyzed: mean self monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) and mean CGMS sensor’s glycemic value; correlation coefficient (%), median absolute percent difference (MAD%), number of sensor reading, glycemic excursions (CGMS vs. SMBG), complications (trauma, local infection, disconnection) and therapeutic management after CGMS. A1c levels were measured […]

This retrospective study assessed 17 DM1 pediatric patients (15.76 ± 4.5 years) submitted to 72h continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) (Medtronic, CA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of CGMS in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and the efficacy of this method to detect unrecognized hypoglycemia in this population. It were analyzed capillary glycemia (CG) and CGMS sensor’s value; glycemic excursions; postprandial hyperglycemia; unrecognized hypoglycemia; complications and therapeutic management after CGMS. A1c […]
