Real-World Evidence: rtCGM Prevents Glycemic Deterioration in Well-Controlled, Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes
June 11, 2022Clinical Outcomes Article / Publication
In a retrospective claims analysis from Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, 149 patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D; baseline HbA1c <8%) who initiated real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) demonstrated durable glycemic benefit compared with 17,273 noninitiators serving as reference. RT-CGM initiation was associated with decreased HbA1c (-0.06%) while noninitiation was associated with increased HbA1c (+0.32%). A weighted adjusted difference-in-difference model of change in HbA1c yielded a net benefit of -0.30% (P=0.004) for RT-CGM. These findings highlight the notion that RT-CGM may be useful in preventing glycemic deterioration and offer a durable benefit in well-controlled patients with insulin-treated T2D.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Medical Care represent the latest evidence-based recommendations for guiding clinical practice. According to the most recent edition of these guidelines, Level A evidence from the MOBILE study supports the use of real time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) in patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) regardless of regimen. The findings from the MOBILE study likewise demonstrate the value of rtCGM across typically underserved demographics of patients impacted by social determinants of health (SDOH). Taking the ADA recommendations into consideration, payers are formulating coverage policies that facilitate appropriate access to rtCGM, improved outcomes in T2D, and proven per-member-per-month (PMPM) cost savings.

Key Takeaway:
The Dexcom CGM system is unique with the ability to connect with multiple digital health solutions. Combining CGM with digital health apps allows users to quickly see all their data in one place. Access to real-time data can empower people with diabetes and foster patient engagement with in-the-moment diabetes feedback and the opportunity for coaching.
The recently updated American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Care (SOC) 20221 revised the technology recommendations focusing on use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). In addition, the ADA added digital health to the recommendations noting the opportunity for digital coaching as a tool for education. Join this webinar for a deep dive into the updated CGM technology SOC and learn about the current evidence that influenced recent changes. Diabetes technology is evolving rapidly, stay up to date with CGM to enhance your knowledge.

In 2021, NCQA and HL7 hosted the fifth annual Digital Quality Summit (DQS) that convened stakeholders within six distinct “tracks” – each track exploring a different subset of healthcare. Track 6 of the Digital Quality Summit featured five breakout sessions that covered topics such as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), diabetes distress, digital measurement and measure concepts related to diabetes care, optimal care for individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, NCQA’s own Diabetes Recognition Program, and more.
The Rethinking Diabetes Care in the Digital Age white paper contains findings from track 6 of the Digital Quality Summit and is broken down into the following sections:
1. Importance of Measurement in Diabetes Care beyond HbA1c and Depression
2. Optimal Diabetes Care Management and Continuous Glucose Monitoring
3. Behavioral Aspects in Diabetes Care and Diabetes Distress
4. Health Equity in Diabetes Care Management
5. Driving Improvements in Diabetes Care and the Diabetes Recognition Program
