Standard of care for clinical management in individuals with type 1 diabetes is rapidly evolving, from the most recent NICE position of MDI Insulin therapy guided by SMBG tests (6-8 daily), the last 2 years has seen the rapid uptake of iCGM sensors (FreeStyle Libre) such that now approximately 30% of people with T1D have access to the technology.
