Background and Aims: In patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), recurrent hypoglycaemia can lead to longstanding neurological impairments. At present, glycaemic monitoring is with infrequent fingerprick tests; a practice which can miss hypoglycaemic episodes between tests. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a promising alternative method which has the utility to identify risk and patterns of hypoglycaemia. Although CGM is well established in type 1...

Background and Objective: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is gaining in popularity for patients with paediatric hypoglycaemia disorders such as Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI), but no standard measures of accuracy or associated clinical risk are available. A small number of studies have shown suboptimal accuracy of CGM in CHI but assessments have been inconsistent, incomplete and offer no measure of clinical application. Error grids that categorise clinic...
