102-LB: GP-OSMOTIC: An RCT to Determine the Effect of 3-Monthly Retrospective Continuous Glucose Monitoring (rCGM) on 12-Month HbA1c in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in Primary Care

Introduction: Reviewing rCGM patterns may prompt lifestyle or therapeutic changes to achieve glycaemic targets but evidence for rCGM use in primary care management of T2D is limited. Methods: Two-arm RCT. Participants: Adults with T2D, HbA1c ≥0.5% above target, prescribed ≥2 non-insulin glycemia medications or insulin. Intervention: 1-hour diabetes education and (at 0/3/6/9/12 months): HbA1c assessment + wearing FreeStyle Libre Pro (Abbott) for up to 14 days prior to being discussed at a clinic visit. Physicians were trained in interpreting ambulatory glucose profiles. Control: 3-monthly ‘usual care’ clinic visits + r-CGM device worn (blinded, research data) at 0 and 12 months. Primary outcome: difference in mean HbA1c at 12 months. Secondary outcomes: mean differences in time in range (TIR: 4-10 mmol/L) and diabetes-specific distress (PAID) at 12 months, and HbA1c at 6 months. ITT analysis. Results: In 25 primary care practices, participants were: 299 adults with T2D, aged (mean(SD)) 60(10) years, HbA1c: 8.9(1.2)%, diabetes duration (median(IQR)) of 12(8,20) years. At 12 months, the between-group difference in mean HbA1c was 0.2% (p=0.112). The estimated mean percentage TIR was 8.4% higher in the intervention than the control arm (p=0.004). Diabetes-specific distress did not differ between arms (0.5; p=0.71). At 6 months, HbA1c was significantly lower in the intervention arm (0.5%; p<0.001). We found little evidence of changes in the number of glycemic medications in either arm. Discussion: Use of 3-monthly rCGM in adults with T2D in primary care does not improve HbA1c at 12 months. We showed a statistically and clinically significant reduction in HbA1c at 6 months in the intervention group, as well as significant improvements in TIR at 12 months, with no change in diabetes distress. Our findings suggest the primary impact of r-CGM use on HbA1c in this setting is short term, and not associated with increase in the number of diabetes medications. Disclosure J.
