Results: All the patients completed the study without any major adverse events. Significant
periods of asymptomatic hypoglycemia (below 4 mmol/l, 70 mg/dl) were noted. There was a
close correlation between CGM sensor and capillary blood glucose values measured by a

Results:
All the patients completed the study without any major adverse events. Significant periods of asymptomatic hypoglycemia (below 4 mmol/l, 70 mg/dl) were noted. There was a close correlation between CGM sensor and capillary blood glucose values measured by a glucometer. CGM indicated a considerable reduction in duration of hypoglycemia, liver size and improvements in secondary metabolic derangements such as hyperlacticacidemia and hyperlipidemia.
Conclusions:
CGM could be applied in the clinical setting to help the physician to identify hypoglycemic events, and repeated CGM may serve as a safe and useful tool for the assessment of the long-term management of patients with GSD I.
