Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is considered as a new tool for diabetes management. Due to the improved accuracy and reliability, its applications have grown. CGM provides us with an approach for getting insight into blood glucose profiles. Time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR) and time below range (TBR) become new targets for diabetes care. It helps to optimize the treatment regimen by preventing glucose fluctuation especially hypoglycemia. In this context, a lot of studies have been done and many research papers have been published.
As we know, blood glucose fluctuates during the day not only in patients with diabetes but also in other situations. The fluctuation reflects the balance of disposition of glucose, i.e., the appearance of glucose from gut, liver and other glucogenesis tissues, and the utilization of glucose. These processes are related to diverse mechanisms and physiological and pathophysiological events. As a result, GCM could be used in nutrition consultation, intensive care, prediabetes management, peri-operative care, insulinoma, and other diseases related to glucose metabolism. In the discovery of new drugs, CGM could be used in animal studies to present a tool to find dynamic glucose metabolism.
Few studies focus on situations beyond diabetes management. As we know, blood glucose fluctuation occurs in many other physiological and pathological processes. It is important and interesting to study glucose metabolism by using CGM and explore new approaches to prevent diseases and their complication related to blood glucose fluctuations.
Manuscripts in the form of reviews, research papers, case series, or even case reports including real-world data, cohort/RCT studies, clinical practice, nutrition consultation and other physiological or pathological situations are welcome.
Special attention will be given to these topics on continuous glucose monitoring in:
• pre-diabetes
• intensive care
• animal study with CGM
• gut microbe and glucose fluctuation
• glucose fluctuation in other diseases
• CGM and nutrition consultation
• CGM and CVD risk
We welcome the authors to propose any other topics not included in the list if deemed relevant, sending a Manuscript Summary to the collection if the theme is not present in the list. We will evaluate if it falls within the scope.
