Objective: To compare healthcare utilization, costs, and incidence of diabetes-specific adverse events (ie, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hypoglycemia) in type 1 diabetes adult patients using real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) versus traditional blood glucose monitoring (BG). Methods: Adult patients (≥18 years old) with type 1 diabetes in a large national administrative claims database between 2013 and 2015 were identified. rtCGM patients with 6-month continuous health plan enrollment and ≥1 pharmacy claim for insulin during pre-index and post-index periods were propensity-score matched with BG patients. Healthcare utilization associated with diabetic adverse events were examined. A difference-in-difference (DID) method was used to compare the change in costs between rtCGM and BG cohorts. Results: Six-month medical costs for rtCGM patients ( N = 153) increased from pre- to post-index period, while they decreased for matched BG patients ( N = 153). DID analysis indicated a $2,807 ( P = .062) higher post-index difference in total medical costs for rtCGM patients. Pharmacy costs for both cohorts increased. DID analysis indicated a $1,775 ( P < .001) higher post-index difference in pharmacy costs for rtCGM patients. The incidence of hyperglycemia for both cohorts increased minimally from pre- to post-index period. The incidence of hypoglycemia for rtCGM patients decreased, while it increased marginally for BG patients. Inpatient hospitalizations for rtCGM and BG patients increased and decreased marginally, respectively. Conclusions: rtCGM users had non-significantly higher pre-post differences in medical costs but significantly higher pre-post differences in pharmacy costs (mostly due to the rtCGM costs themselves) compared to BG users. Changes in adverse events were minimal.

<b>Objective: </b>This study evaluated the effects of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) combined with family behavioral intervention (CGM+FBI) and CGM alone (Standard-CGM) on glycemic outcomes and parental quality of life compared with blood glucose monitoring (BGM) in children ages 2 to <8 years with type 1 diabetes <p><b>Research Design and Methods: </b>A multicenter (N=14), 6-month, randomized controlled trial including 143 youth 2 to <8 years of age with type 1 diabetes. Primary analysis included treatment group comparisons of percent time in range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dL) across follow-up visits.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>About 90% of participants in the CGM groups used CGM ≥ 6 days/week at 6-months. Between-group TIR comparisons showed no significant changes: CGM+FBI vs BGM = 3.2% [95% CI -0.5%, 7.0%], Standard-CGM vs BGM = 0.5% [-2.6% to 3.6%], CGM+FBI vs Standard-CGM = 2.7% [-0.6%, 6.1%]. Mean time <70 mg/dL was reduced from baseline to follow-up in the CGM+FBI (from 5.2% to 2.6%) and Standard-CGM (5.8% to 2.5%) groups , compared with 5.4% to 5.8% with BGM (CGM+FBI vs. BGM, p<0.001, Standard-CGM vs BGM p<0.001). No severe hypoglycemic events occurred in the CGM+FBI group, 1 in the Standard-CGM, and 5 in the BGM. CGM+FBI parents reported greater reductions in diabetes burden and fear of hypoglycemia compared with Standard-CGM (p=0.008 and 0.04) and BGM (p=0.02 and 0.002). </p> <b>Conclusions: </b>CGM used consistently over a 6-month period in young children with type 1 diabetes did not improve TIR but did significantly reduce time in hypoglycemia. The FBI benefited parental well-being.
