Abstract
Older people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on insulin are at increased risk of hypoglycemia and associated morbidity. Management of T2DM in older people must optimize glycemic control, while minimizing risks for hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In France, the FreeStyle Libre® (FSL) system has been reimbursed since June 2017 for T2DM on intensive insulin therapy. We assessed the impact of starting FSL on hospitalizations for acute diabetes events (ADEs) in people ≥65 years old, with T2DM on intensive insulin therapy.
