None of the three long-term RT-CGM strategies evaluated in pediatric type 1 diabetes was superior to the others in terms of HbA1c levels. CGM-use for 3 months decreased rates of severe hypoglycemia. Our results confirm the feasibility of long-term RT-CGM-use and the need to improve educational support for patients and caregivers.
