Resumen: Objectives: The aim of this article is to measure the HbAc1, the coefficient of variation of glucose levels and the occurrence of hypoglycaemia, when using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Study design: This is a retrospective study. Data are collected from type 1 diabetes mellitus, T1DM, children diagnosed between 2003 and 2017 in the Pediatric Unit of Diabetes in Zaragoza, Spain. Methods: Descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The use of CGM for 3–6 months decreased the HbAc1 and the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia. Conclusions: Continuous glucose monitoring device helped in the management of diabetes, although more research is needed to analyse the influence of other variables in the relations studied.
