140-LB: Management of Inpatient Hyperglycemia Guided by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in Insulin-Treated Patients with Diabetes—A Randomized Clinical Trial

Inpatient use of CGM results in higher detection of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events compared to point of care testing (POC) but its efficacy and safety in adjusting insulin therapy has not been evaluated. This randomized controlled trial included 181 general medicine and surgery patients with type 1 (n= 18) and type 2 (n= 155) diabetes treated with a basal bolus insulin regimen. All patients underwent POC testing AC & HS. Patients in the POC group wore a blinded Dexcom G6 CGM with insulin dose adjusted based on POC results; while in the CGM group, insulin adjustment was based on daily Dexcom G6 CGM profile review. Hypoglycemia alarms were set at 80 mg/dl in the CGM group. Primary endpoints were differences in time in range (70-180 mg/dl) and hypoglycemia (
