Influence of time point of calibration on accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Data on the influence of calibration on accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are scarce. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the time point of calibration has an influence on sensor accuracy and whether this effect differs according to glycemic level. ⋯ Sensor calibration predominantly based on preprandial glucose resulted in a significantly higher overall sensor accuracy compared with a predominantly postprandial calibration. The difference was most pronounced in the hypo- and euglycemic reference range, whereas both calibration patterns were comparable in the hyperglycemic range.

Real-time continuous glucose monitoring in an intensive care unit: better accuracy in patients with septic shock.
This study assessed the accuracy of real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RTCGMS) devices in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine whether the septic status of the patient has any influence on the accuracy of the RTCGMS. ⋯ The results showed that the septic status of patients influenced the accuracy of the RTCGMS in the ICU. Accuracy was significantly better in patients with septic shock in comparison with the other patient cohorts.
