Accuracy of a novel real-time continuous glucose monitoring system: a prospective self-controlled study in thirty hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the accuracy of the Glunovo real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (rtCGMS).

Methods: We conducted a 14-day interstitial glucose level monitoring using Glunovo rtCGMS on thirty hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. The flash glucose monitoring (FGM) was used as a self-control. Consistency tests, error grid analysis, and calculation of the mean absolute relative difference (MARD) were performed using R software to assess the accuracy of Glunovo rtCGMS.

Results: Glunovo exhibited an overall MARD value of 8.89% during hospitalization, compared to 10.42% for FGM. The overall percentages of glucose values within ±10%/10, ± 15%/15, ± 20%/20, ± 30%/30, and ±40%/40 of the venous blood glucose reference value were 63.34%, 81.31%, 90.50%, 97.29%, and 99.36% for Glunovo, respectively, compared with 61.58%, 79.63%, 88.31%, 96.22% and 99.23% for FGM. The Clarke Error Grid Analysis showed that 99.61% of Glunovo glucose pairs and 100.00% of FGM glucose pairs within zones A and B.

Conclusion: Our study confirms the superior accuracy of Glunovo in monitoring blood glucose levels among hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.
