The link to this paper came through on my Twitter feed this morning.

Key findings from the trial include (FreeStyle Libre users versus traditional SMBG):
  • 38 percent reduction in time spent in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dl)
  • 40 percent reduction in time spent in nocturnal hypoglycemia at night (11 p.m. to 6 a.m.)
  • 50 percent reduction in serious hypoglycemia (<55 mg/dl)
  • No increase in HbA1c at six months
  • Glucose monitoring increased to an average of 15 scans per day
  • Routine finger sticks were nearly eliminated—reduced by 91 percent
