The continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based insulin titration protocol by Olsen et al has been successfully implemented for titrating basal, prandial, and correctional insulin in inpatients with type 2 diabetes in non-ICU settings.

7 inpatient diabetes team members, responsible for daily insulin titration, decided on insulin adjustments for 353 days.

The members had the option to follow the CGM-based insulin protocol or override it for basal, prandial, and correctional insulin, separately, in 84 inpatients monitored by CGM.

Questionnaires were used to evaluate the protocol’s operability by the teams.
