Effect of the FreeStyle Libre™ flash glucose monitoring system on glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with basal–bolus insulin therapy: An open label, prospective, multicenter trial in Japan

Aims/Introduction We investigated the effect of FreeStyle LibreTM on glycemic control in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients treated with basal–bolus insulin therapy. Materials and Methods This prospective, 90‐day single‐arm study enrolled 94 adults with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. A 14‐day masked baseline phase was followed by an 11‐week treatment phase during which participants used the device to monitor glucose levels. The primary end‐point was time spent in hypoglycemia (
Use of flash glucose monitoring technology in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes, treated with multiple daily insulin injections, resulted in increased time in range and decreased time in hyperglycemia without increasing hypoglycemia.
