239-OR: CGM Has a Specific Effect on the Reduction of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in People with Type 1 Diabetes on an MDI Treatment Regimen

MDI users with type 1 diabetes may be less able to respond to circadian changes in insulin demand than CSII or AID users, which may increase the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia. Therefore, we re-analyzed data from the HYPO.DE RCT to evaluate the effect of CGM on the percentage of low glucose levels < 70 mg/dl (% < 70 mg/dl) and < 54 mg/dl (% < 54 mg/dl) during 12 two-hour periods throughout the day. We compared 4-week baseline data from 141 participants using spot glucose monitoring (SMBG) with 4-week outcome data after a 6-month follow-up period in which the control group (n=66) remained on SMBG and the intervention group (n=75) used CGM (Dexcom G5). At baseline without CGM, there were significantly higher proportions of %
