Popis: Objectives: There are limited data on time spent in hypoglycemia range among older adults (≥ 60 yrs of age) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We analyzed blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data collected at baseline in a randomized trial assessing the effect of CGM on hypoglycemia in older adults with T1D. Methods: Data from 203 older adults with T1D enrolled in the Wireless Innovations for Seniors with Diabetes Mellitus (WISDM) study at 22 sites in the United States were analyzed. Eligibility criteria for the trial included age ≥60 yrs, no use of real-time CGM in the 3 months prior to enrollment and HbA1c 100 minutes per day among those with impaired hypoglycemia awareness. Interventions to improve time in range and reduce biochemical hypoglycemia are needed to reduce the risk of severe hypoglycemia in this age group.
