CGM is an effective management and diagnostic tool that also can be used to assess the CE of diabetes regimens. We analyzed CGM data collected from type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients in 52 US centers during a randomized, open-label, cross-over (12 wk phases) trial (NCT00135941) of daily insulin glargine plus premeal insulin glulisine (GG) or premix insulin 75/25 or 70/30 bid (PM) requiring titration to HbA1c < 7.0% to evaluate the utility of CGM in CE research. Three-day CGM (288 glucoses/day), HbA1c and patient-reported satisfaction were obtained at wks 0, 12 and 24 in 306 patients [45.1% men; mean (SD) age = 56.1 (9.3) y; HbA1c = 7.8 (0.7) %; diabetes duration = 14.5 (8.1) y]. Data were analyzed using longitudinal linear mixed models. Mean (SE) HbA1c decreased by 0.6 (0.1) for GG and 0.3 (0.1) % for PM (P < 0.0001). There was a more favorable CGM profile for GG compared to PM (Table). Measures of low blood glucose risk (AUC < 70 mg/dL) and Low Blood Glucose Index were not different. After adjusting for treatment, period, sequence, week, baseline satisfaction, BMI, age, HbA1c < 7.0%, mean daily insulin dose and duration of diabetes, each CGM measure proved to be an independent predictor of treatment satisfaction (all P < 0.0001). Changes in CGM summary measures differentiated GG and PM regimens in terms of glycemic variability and risk independent of changes in HbA1c, and predicted patient-reported treatment satisfaction. CGM summary measures can enhance comparative effectiveness research in diabetes by providing information on daily glucose variability that cannot be obtained from HbA1c alone.
