Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Resource-Constrained Settings
                for Hypoglycaemia Detection: Looking at the Problem from the
                Other Side of the Coin

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
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.
