Summary

This study tested whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) combined with a diabetes management platform (DMP) can help older adults (65+) with type 1 diabetes reduce low blood sugar episodes. The DMP automatically sends glucose and insulin data to a system that gives dose adjustment tips to the healthcare team, and also offers on-demand education for patients and caregivers. 168 participants used either the enhanced CGM or standard care, and researchers measured changes in time spent with low blood sugar.
