Initial experiences of adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes and high-risk glycemic control after starting flash glucose monitoring - a qualitative study

ConclusionsFlash glucose monitoring may be an acceptable self-management tool to increase monitoring frequency in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes and high-risk glycemic control, with the potential to improve long-term glycemic control. Initial support efforts should focus on practical strategies to prolong sensor wear and motivate frequent scanning as well as education on interpreting glucose data and making informed treatment decisions to maximize the benefits of this technology.
