Summary
Intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) effectively tracks islet graft function after transplantation. This method aids in managing glycemic variability and optimizing insulin doses for improved patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Transplantation Immunology
- Metabolic Diseases
Background:
- Islet transplantation is a treatment for type 1 diabetes, but monitoring graft function in real-world conditions remains challenging.
- Limited data exists on using intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) to assess islet graft function and insulin dynamics post-transplant.
