Abstrakt:	Background: Diabetes control without developing hypoglycemia is challenging in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management, with few studies evaluating the effect of insulin glargine timing on glucoregulation. Objectives: The aim is to compare glycemic control using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in children with T1D receiving bedtime versus morning glargine and to assess CGM effect on glycemia. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 30 pediatric patients with T1D receiving glargine (19 at bedtime and 11 in the morning). CGM sensor was applied for 3-5 days using the I-Pro2 blood glucose sensor. Results: Total daily dose of glargine showed a significant correlation with HbA1C (p=0.006) and percentage of glucose readings within average (p=0.039). HbA1C correlated significantly with time in range (TIR) (p=0.049). Nocturnal hypoglycemia was significantly higher in the bedtime glargine group than in the morning one (p=0.016). The morning glargine group showed better control in terms of lower HbA1C and higher TIR, but these did not reach statistical significance. Follow- up after 3 months revealed significant improvement in the percentage of hyperglycemia, BG readings within average, as well as HbA1c (p:0.001). Conclusions: Bedtime glargine administration was associated with a higher frequency of occurrence of nocturnal hypoglycemia. No statistically significant difference in glycemic control between both groups was found. CGM use improved glycemic control.
