Background: Previously, self-monitoring of blood glucose in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus was performed solely through fingerstick testing. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices have since been used, allowing for continuous visualization of glucose levels 24 hours a day. Objectives: The main objective was to evaluate glycemic control in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus who used a CGM for 14 consecutive days. Additionally, the study assessed the time in range and glucose variability provided by the device and its relation to the patient’s glycemic control. Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted with 30 patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus who used a CGM for 14 days across 2 treatment centers. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics for demographic variables and those related to the CGM. STATA version 12 statistical software was used for data processing, and the Student’s t-test was used to compare means. Results: Glycemic control, represented by time in range (TER), was suboptimal (59% and 60%, respectively). 40% of the evaluated patients were above the established range (< 25% of values > 180 mg/dL), and up to 60% of patients experienced hypoglycemia related to overtreatment with insulin. Conclusions: The use of CGM allows for more accurate glycemic control in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Glycemic control was below 70%, and 40% of the evaluated patients were above the established range. Over-treatment with insulin could be reduced using CGM. Finally, longitudinal use of CGM was associated with better glycemic control.
