An international position statement on practical approaches for inpatient continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery systems in adults.

There is an urgent and unmet need for a practical clinical guideline addressing the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in hospital settings. The goal with this position statement is to facilitate effective and safe use of these devices to improve glycaemic management, enhance outcomes and contribute to standardisation efforts in initiating or continuing the use of these devices in hospitals for non-critically ill hospitalised adults. The topics covered include selection criteria for management with diabetes technologies, CGM-derived glycaemic metrics and goals for adults with diabetes, insulin titration and administration guidelines, perioperative care, CGM alarm settings for hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia, clinical staff training and workflows, integration of device data with the electronic health record, imaging tests considerations and discharge planning.
