The Scientific Advisory board resolution: Implementation of intermittently scanned Continuous Glucose monitoring in clinical practice to improve glycemic control

Abstract

The Scientific Advisory Board chaired by Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Peterkova V.A. was held 26 of November in Moscow to discuss the possibilities of continuous glucose monitoring technology (CGM) implementation into routine clinical practice in Russia in order to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).The main aims for Advisory board were to determine the most significant indicators and parameters for CGM to be implemented in practice from a practical point of view of LMWH, necessary for implementation in clinical practice, for different patients groups with diabetes.The following questions and topics were raised within the discussion: the importance of additional indicators beyond glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for glycemic control assessment in diabetes patients, CGM positioning in International and Russian clinical guidelines, the accuracy of CGM devises and approaches to its assessment, the role of education programs for diabetic patients, including trainings in correct use and data interpretation and analysis of CGM data obtained, clinical evidence analysis for CGM in randomized trials and real world evidence.
