Multicenter StudyAccuracy of a new real-time continuous glucose monitoring algorithm.
Through minimally invasive sensor-based continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), individuals can manage their blood glucose (BG) levels more aggressively, thereby improving their hemoglobin A1c level, while reducing the risk of hypoglycemia. Tighter glycemic control through CGM, however, requires an accurate glucose sensor and calibration algorithm with increased performance at lower BG levels. ⋯ The Veo calibration algorithm, with sensor error reduced significantly in the 40- to 120-mg/dl range, improves hypoglycemia detection, while retaining accuracy at high glucose levels.
