Despite significant diabetes care improvements, East African youth with T1D have poor metabolic control with chronic hyper- and hypoglycaemia, placing them at high risk for serious acute and chronic complications. This study demonstrates the feasibility of CGM use in this population and provides baseline metabolic data that will be used to inform a future intervention study.
