dc.description.abstractFew studies have evaluated the performance of flash glucose monitoring in hospitalized patients requiring intravenous insulin therapy. In this prospective study, an intravenous insulin infusion was adjusted hourly using flash glucose monitoring in hospitalized adults with prednisolone-associated hyperglycemia. The difference in paired point of care (POC) and flash glucose measurements and risk of severe hyper- or hypoglycemia (assessed by Clarke error grid analysis) were assessed. Glucose concentration measured by flash glucose monitoring was lower than POC glucose (mean difference 1.5 mmol/L [27 mg/dL], p < 0.001); however, mean POC glucose was within the target range (9.1 ± 4.1 mmol/L [164 ± 72 mg/dL]) and 97.8% of glucose measurements were within Zone A and B on error grid analysis. Flash glucose monitoring could be used in combination with POC glucose monitoring to minimize the frequency of finger prick blood glucose levels in hospitalized patients prescribed an intravenous insulin infusion.
