As we have discovered over the past few weeks, the U.S. has continued to see increasing incidence of diabetes as one of the top eight disease burdens. The prevalence has increased globally with a ranking of 3rd in 2016 for the leading cause of disabilities in the U.S. (The U.S. Burden of Disease Collaborators, 2018). This is even more alarming with the world’s aging population who is at greater risk for developing diabetes and the multitude of complex complications. Adults 60 years or older often have higher co-morbidities secondary to age that when combined with diabetes lead to diabetes-related conditions, such as myocardial infarctions, lower extremity amputations, renal disease, cognitive impairment and dementia, and visual disturbances, which place them at higher risks for death and disability (Valencia et al., 2018). Diabetes management continues to be essential in the prevention of diabetes related complications. Evidence has shown that diabetes self-management, medication management, dietary compliance and exercise, and patient education continue to be primary interventions in the management of this complex disease. However, as these have not demonstrated improvements in glycemic control or prevention of hypoglycemic serious events, the need to add additional interventions utilizing technology are warranted. One such intervention is the addition of continuous glucose monitoring in both type 1. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has arisen over the last decade initially as an adjunct treatment to finger sticks and A1C monitoring (Hirsch et al., 2019). In response to patient preference, compliance with treatment and monitoring plans, quality of monitoring, and cost effectiveness, more studies and evaluation of CGM has emerged. In addition, the need to prevent serious complications related to hypoglycemic events also led to more research and trials in the use of continuous glucose monitoring (Bergenstal, 2018). In our organization, most patients do not continue using their insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitors during acute events in the hospital. Implementation of a research-based intervention such as CGM for Type 1 diabetics would allow for stabilization of patient glucose levels and prevent serious complications related to hypoglycemia that we often have seen. What are the potential benefits and harms related to your selected practice problem when considering a research-based intervention for your practice change project? The use of CGM in diabetes is believed to allow for several benefits. First, it can assist in the prevention of hypoglycemia in patients who often are not aware of extreme drops in glucose levels. Routine finger glucose sticks were often the standard in diabetic monitoring but were not always performed as scheduled or felt to be of high importance to adults with diabetes. CGM allows for real time data to be reviewed by patients; can identify quick changes in the patient’s glucose levels with meals.
