Comparing Clinical Accuracy and Analytical Accuracy Between Continuous Glucose Monitors.

This study compares performance between two continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). The study design contains a mix of laboratory results (CGM vs YSI) and home results (CGM vs glucose meter). Analysis is provided for both clinical accuracy and analytical accuracy of CGM glucose measurements. Both types of accuracy are important. Error grid analysis informs about clinical accuracy. Analytical error is important as most users would prefer a CGM with a smaller spread of CGM versus reference differences. The authors provide the percentage of time that no result was obtained. Study design, data analysis, and editorial support were provided by a manufacturer of one of the products studied. This study provides a template for comparisons.
