Abbott FreeDM2 trial links FreeStyle Libre CGM to 0.6% greater HbA1c reduction in type 2 diabetes on basal insulin

Abbott reported results from the U.K. FreeDM2 randomized controlled trial comparing FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring with fingerstick self-monitoring in 303 adults with type 2 diabetes using basal insulin across 24 clinical sites. The findings were presented at the 19th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD). At four months, the Libre group had a 0.6% greater reduction in HbA1c than the fingerstick group. The Libre group also spent about 2.5 more hours per day in the 70–180 mg/dL glucose range. Abbott also cited an Italian interventional study of 88 adults using Libre in routine practice that reported improvements after three months and was also being presented at ATTD.
