Flash glucose monitoring in type 1 diabetes: A comparison with self-monitoring blood glucose.
A flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system has become available. To clarify the relationship between FGM and self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) values, we compared the two values after simultaneous measurement in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes, under daily life settings. ⋯ The results of this study provided evidence on the reliability of FGM in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes in home conditions. Based on the results, if an abnormal glucose value is detected by FGM, SBMG should then be used to confirm the result.
