CONCLUSIONS
12AM Recommended Data Sufficiency
15 Standardized CGM visualization of data AGP recommended
* Severe hypoglycemia (Level 3) and diabetic ketoacidosis (Level 3) are not key CGM metrics, per se. However, these conditions are included in the table because they are important clinical categories that must be assessed and documented.

(ABSTRACT)
Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been the traditional method for
assessing glycemic control. However, it does not reflect intra- and inter-day glycemic excursions
that may lead to acute events (such as hypoglycemia) or postprandial hyperglycemia, which have
been linked to both microvascular and macrovascular complications.Continuous glucose
monitoring (CGM), either from real-time use (rtCGM) or intermittently-viewed continuous
glucose monitoring (iCGM), address many of the limitations inherent in HbA1c testing and
SMBG.Although both provide the means to move beyond the HbA1c measurement as the sole
marker of glycemic control, standardized metrics for analyzing CGM data are lacking.
Moreover, clear criteria for matching people with diabetes to the most appropriate glucose
monitoring methodologies, and standardised advice about how best to use the new information
they provide, have yet to be established. In February 2017, the Advanced Technologies and
Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) Congress convened an international panel of physicians,
researchers and individuals with diabetes who are expert in CGM technologies to address these
issues. This article summarizes the ATTD consensus recommendations and represents the
