Limited evidence exists on the use of FGM in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on non-prandial insulin therapies.

Aim: To study the feasibility of intermittent FGM and education among sub-optimally controlled T2D. Adult T2Ds on any treatment but prandial insulin, HbA1c 7.5-10%, received Freestyle Libre sensor and structured education. Sensor use was continuous for 6 weeks (w), then 2 weekly up to 24w. A blinded sensor was worn at -2w and 24w. n=28, 11 men, mean age 55± 12 y, BMI 27.2 ± 4 kg/m2, 6/28 on basal insulin. Mean HbA1c fell from baseline of 8.5 ± 0.5% to 7.9 ± 0.9% (69 to 63 mmol/mol, p=0.001) and was sustained to 24w (fig 1). SD and TAR (>13.9 mmol/L) showed a trend to improvement (Table 1). Intermittent FGM use with education in T2D showed a sustained improvement in glycemia up to 24 weeks.
