Abstract

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) is one of the most frequent endocrine pathologies in pediatric population. Capillary blood glucose testing, the most recommended self-monitoring method, is associated with discomforts that could decrease adherence. This led to creation of new technologies that respond to patients’ needs. Objective: To generate recommendations based on experts consensus about the use of the ϔlash glucose monitor (FGM) in patients under 18 years of age with DM1 diagnosis. Materials and methods: A modiϔied Delphi-type consen-sus was carried out in which 8 specialists in pediatric endo-crinology and a developer group participated. Based on the analysis of the results, the recommendations were presented. Results: Recommendations about indications, frequency and mode of use, safety proϔile and impact of its use on quality of life were obtained.
Conclusions: The FGM has a precision comparable with capillary glucose. It is considered a safe device, with the ability to impact positively the quality of life of the patients and their caregivers.
