Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes.
Current Diabetes Reports 2017 September
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology has long been accepted as a tool for managing glycemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is receiving increased attention as a tool for monitoring glucose patterns in patients with other forms of diabetes, in particular type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recent studies in adults with T2D have shown benefits of CGM in the investigation of glycemic variability, as well as utility as a tool for improving glycemic control. The literature on CGM use in youth-onset T2D, however, is sparse. This paper reviews the various roles for CGM in T2D, with a focus on published reports of CGM use in youth-onset T2D. The gaps in knowledge are highlighted, along with a discussion regarding need for future studies of potential applications for CGM in this younger population.
RECENT FINDINGS: CGM systems provide insight into glycemic abnormalities in obese youth with and at risk for T2D. This technology has enabled examination of the relationship between free-living glycemic profiles and traditional diabetes screening tests, as well as markers of cardiometabolic risk in this high-risk population. Investigators are incorporating CGM technology into the study of T2D in youth, but interventional studies of CGM as a tool for glycemic control in youth-onset T2D are limited. Youth with T2D face a more aggressive disease than adults with T2D, and further studies utilizing advances in glucose monitoring technology to improve outcomes in this population are needed.
