- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the use of flash glucose measurements in Mexico with regards to a) the frequency of glucose scans; b) its association with glycemic markers, and c) the comparison of these findings to those observed in global user data. Methods: Glucose results were de-identified and uploaded to a dedicated database when Freestyle Libre™ readers were connected to an internet-ready computer. Data comprising 1,021,032 readers worldwide were analyzed (including 4,972 Mexican readers). Glucose parameters were calculated, including estimated HbA1c, time above, below and within range. Results: Mexican users performed an average of 14.9 scans per day vs. 13.2 scans per day, worldwide (p < 0.05). In Mexican dataset, those in the lowest and in the highest groups scanned on average 3.9 and 40.8 times per day and had an estimated HbA1c of 7.18 and 6.74%, respectively (p < 0.05). In both populations, as scan frequency increased, time in range increased. In Mexico, the percentage of time in range increased from 65.0 to 68.4% (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The Mexican users have a high frequency of scans, more frequent than global data. Similar to the world findings, increased scan frequency is associated with better glycemic control.
