Indication, organization, practical implementation and interpretation guidelines for retrospective CGM recording: A French position statement

Abstract Aim The benefits of retrospective continuous glucose monitoring (retroCGM) recording have been widely explored in clinical studies, and many diabetes physicians routinely use this examination. However, the method of interpretation of CGM recordings has never been precisely described. Method An expert French panel of physicians met for two days to discuss several aspects of retroCGM use and to produce a position statement. Results The guidelines cover the indications for retroCGM, the general organization and practical implementation of CGM recordings, a description of the different devices available and guidelines for the interpretation of retroCGM recordings. Conclusion This consensus document should help clinicians in the proper use of retroCGM.
