AIMS: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool in the hospital setting, with evidence supporting its accuracy and potential for improving glycaemic and clinical outcomes. However, patient perspectives on the use of CGM in the hospital setting remain underexplored. This study investigates patient satisfaction with CGM during hospitalisation. METHODS: This analysis included 166 hospitalised non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) patients with type 2 diabetes from the DIAbetes TEam and Cgm (DIATEC) trial. Participants were randomised to either point-of-care (POC) glucose testing (n = 82) or CGM (n = 84) for glucose monitoring during their hospital stay and were managed by inpatient diabetes teams. At discharge, patients completed a survey developed for this specific study, assessing their satisfaction with the diabetes management, with a focus on glucose monitoring methods. RESULTS: Overall satisfaction with the diabetes treatment during hospitalisation was similar in both groups, with 77% of patients in each group reporting being satisfied or very satisfied (p = 0.188). Regarding glucose assessment, 75% in the CGM group preferred CGM over POC glucose testing (p < 0.001). In the CGM group, 95% felt comfortable with CGM being the primary method for glucose management (p < 0.001). Approximately 5% reported discomfort from wearing the CGM, mainly due to itching from the sensor. Most patients (95%) in both groups were comfortable with their diabet...
