Effective use of computerized insulin dose adjustment algorithms on continuous glucose monitoring results by a clinical pharmacist - Proof-of-concept

Highlights A clinical pharmacist using recommendations of Food and Drug Administration-cleared computerized insulin dose adjustment algorithms based on analyses of glucose readings from continuous glucose monitoring (Abbot Free Style Pro) in 13 poorly controlled insulin-requiring diabetic patients increased time in target range of 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L from 29% to 51% and decreased time in range of >13.9 mmol/L from 43% to 23% (both P = 0.01) after 3 months. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (±SD) fell from 102 (±15) to 67 (±10) mmol/mol (P < 10⁻⁶).
