OBJECTIVE To assess treatment satisfaction and the effectiveness of a flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system in patients with type 2 diabetes using insulin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total 101 on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) for at least 1 year were assigned randomly to FGM intervention (n = 53) or standard care (control) group 48) followed 10 weeks. Both groups instructed adjust their doses face-to-face telephone visits. Satisfaction treatment, quality life, comfort FGM, HbA1c, frequency hypoglycemic events evaluated. RESULTS The found significantly more flexible (P 0.019) would recommend it counterparts 0.023). was high. changes HbA1c –0.82% (9 mmol/mol) vs. –0.33% (3.6 control group, respectively 0.005); nonprespecified post hoc analysis, 68.6% had reduced by ≥0.5% (5.5 compared 30.2% < 0.001), 39.2% ≥1.0% (10.9 18.6% 0.0023) without an increased hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS tends improve may lead amelioration glycemic MDI increasing
