Resum
The appearance, over a decade ago, of continuous glucose
monitoring (CGM) devices has triggered a patient-centred
revolution in the control and management of diabetes mellitus
and other metabolic conditions, improving the
patient’s glycaemic control and quality of life. Such
devices, the use of which remains typically restricted to
high-income countries on account of their elevated costs, at
present show very limited implantation in resource-constrained
settings, where many other urgent health priorities beyond
diabetes prevention and management still need to be resolved. In
this commentary, we argue that such devices could have an
additional utility in low-income settings, whereby they could be
selectively used among severely ill children admitted to
hospital for closer monitoring of paediatric hypoglycaemia, a
life-threatening condition often complicating severe cases of
malaria, malnutrition, and other common paediatric conditions.
