Does continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improve glucose control in adults and children with type 1 diabetes?
Design: randomised controlled trial. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00406133 [ClinicalTrials.gov] .
Allocation: {concealed}.*
Blinding: unblinded.
Follow-up period: 26 weeks.
Setting: 10 centres in the USA.
Patients:
322 adults and children 
8 years of age who had type 1 diabetes for 1 year and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations of 7–10%, received intensive insulin therapy through an insulin pump or 3 daily injections, had not recently used CGM at home, and successfully completed a 1-week run-in phase. Patients were stratified into 3 age groups: 25 years (n = 98), 15–24 years (n = 110), and 8–14 years (n = 114).
Intervention:
CGM using a subcutaneous sensor (n = 165) or home monitoring using a blood glucose meter 4 times daily (n = 157).
