International position statement issued on inpatient CGM and insulin pump use

A newly published international position statement addresses practical use of continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery systems in hospitalized adults who are not critically ill. It covers patient selection criteria, glycemic metrics and goals, insulin titration and administration, perioperative care, CGM alarm settings, staff training, electronic health record integration, imaging considerations, and discharge planning. The statement was developed to address what the authors describe as an urgent and unmet need for practical guidance on these devices in hospital settings.

Most relevant for: Non-critically ill hospitalized adults with diabetes who use or could use continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, or automated insulin delivery systems, including during perioperative care and hospital discharge planning.
