Among 47 patients enrolled in a cardiovascular disease (CVD) outpatient program, CGM use was associated with improved glycemic and cardiometabolic outcomes. In the two-phase crossover study, participants were required to have T2D not treated with insulin therapy, an HbA1c >7%, and an obesity classification (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). Through 90 days of follow-up, CGM use was associated with a reduction in average glucose (184.0 to 147.2 mg/dL, P<0.001), an increase in time in range (57.8 to 82.8%, P<0.001), and a trend towards lower glycemic variability (26.2% to 23.8%). CGM users also experienced significant reductions in HbA1c, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides, blood pressure, total cholesterol, diabetes distress, and 10-year predicted risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (P<0.05 for all). These findings are pertinent to managed care and payer professionals seeking to better manage outcomes in T2D with comorbid CVD in health plan populations.

CGM Associated with Reduced Cost and Health Care Resource Utilization in Intensive Insulin-Treated T2D
April 15, 2024Clinical Outcomes Article / Publication
In a real-word study analyzing 12 months of pre- and post-CGM-initiation US claims data, researchers found that CGM utilization was associated with lower hospital use and diabetes-related costs in intensive insulin-treated T2D. Among the 790 individuals who met the inclusion criteria, the number with ≥1 ED visit decreased by 30.0% (P=0.01) and with ≥1 inpatient visit decreased by 41.5% (P<0.0001). The number of diabetes-related visits and average number of visits per person likewise decreased by at least 31.4%. Total diabetes-related costs expressed as per-person-per-month (PPPM) also decreased by $341 PPPM. Managed care and payer professionals will find this analysis of interest in assessing the value of CGM as a cost-reduction intervention in the management of T2D among plan members.

A retrospective cohort study published in JAMA Network Open showed that CGM use was associated with lower odds of developing diabetic retinopathy (DR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Among 550 adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) included in the analysis, 62.7% patients used CGM, 58.2% used an insulin pump, and 47.5% used both. After adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, diabetes duration, microvascular and macrovascular complications, insurance type, and mean HbA1c, CGM was associated with lower odds of DR (odds ratio [OR], 0.52; 95% CI, 0.32-0.84; P=0.008) and PDR (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.23-0.75; P =0.004), compared with no CGM use. These findings show that CGM can be beneficial preventing DR—the leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States—even in individuals with well managed T1D.

2024 ADA Standards of Care Recommend Use of CGM Devices Be Considered From the Outset of Diabetes Diagnosis Requiring Insulin Management
January 10, 2024CGM Technology and Digital Health Clinical Outcomes Guidelines / Policy
The ADA Standards of Care include all of of the organization’s current clinical practice recommendations and are intended to provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and others stakeholders with best practices in diabetes management, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care. The recommendations are based on an extensive review of the clinical diabetes literature, supplemented with input from ADA staff and the medical community at large. These comprehensive guidelines are updated annually, or more frequently online if new evidence or regulatory changes merit immediate incorporation In alignment with previous versions of the ADA Standards of Care, the 2024 update highlights the clinical benefit of CGM across a wide range of patient types based on a growing body of evidence.

Leveraging an opportunity for health plans to support improved patient outcomes in diabetes management with CGM, AMCP sponsored a multifaceted initiative to identify best practices. The program approach consisted of expert interviews, a national payer survey, and an expert panel workshop with clinical experts and managed care stakeholders. In addition to a national webcast to communicate the program findings, this supplement published in the Journal of Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy summarizes current evidence and consensus recommendations for CGM to support the effective management of diabetes in health plan populations. The supplement also presents the findings from the national payer survey and describes expert-supported health plan best practices around streamlined but evidence-based coverage and access to CGM. Managed care and payer professionals will find this information useful in making collaborative, evidence-based decisions to optimize outcomes among members with diabetes.

While CGM systems were initially prescribed predominantly for patients with T1D, the mounting body of literature and expert recommendations have led to more widespread use in insulin-treated T2D and beyond. Based on RCT and real world evidence supporting CGM use in T2D and published literature demonstrating the utility of CGM in population health, 4 payer and 5 health system experts convened virtually to share their insights on the integration of this technology in current programs. This article provides a review of key evidence discussed by these stakeholders and findings from the meeting, with recommendations for the implementation of T2D population health programs integrating CGM with other interventions.
