Abstract
FreeStyle Libre (FSL), intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitor ing (isCGM), is associated with less biochemical hypoglycaemia in people with diabetes, lower HbA1c and diabetes-related distress.1 Impaired
awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH), which affects 18%-33% of people with type 1 diabetes,2 is the reduced ability to detect the symptoms of hypogly caemia and is associated with a 6-fold increased risk of severe hypoglycae mia (SH).3 Many of the studies of CGM have shown a reduction in rates of hypoglycaemia but have not shown restoration of awareness.4-6.
