Real-world Effect of Switching From Intermittently-scanned to Real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (Switch CGM Retro)

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus
Registration Number
NCT06962735
Lead Sponsor
LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology Ltd.
Brief Summary

The objective of this retrospective, observational study, is to better understand the real-world glycemic effectiveness of switching to real time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) from intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) among adults with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes in Canada.
