Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) Can Contribute Better Glucose Variability and Treatment Satisfaction

For adequate diagnosis and treatment for diabetes, there have been Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG), Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM).By applying FreeStyle Libre, many patients with diabetes mellitus have obtained better glucose variability. FGM can also contribute treatment satisfaction, which is evaluated by Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) and Diabetes Therapy-Related Quality of Life (DTR-QOL) questionnaire. A report for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) showed that FGM continuation for 3 months contributed significant reduction of HbA1c and successive 3 months without FGM revealed stable HbA1c value, suggesting clinical psychological effect of FGM.
