The Glucose Area Under the Profiles Obtained With Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Relationships With HbAlc in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetic Patients

Abstract
OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to determine whether the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) (MiniMed, Sylmar, CA) 1) is sufficiently representative of the overall metabolic control as assessed by HbA1c, 2) could be used to identify a particular blood glucose threshold value affecting hemoglobin glycation; and 3) is able to show any relationship between particular glycemic profiles and HbA1c levels.
