- Abstract:
- Background and Aims: A preliminary study compared the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with the use of self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) by aircraft pilots with insulin-treated diabetes in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Austria, certified to fly commercial aircraft within the European Aviation Safety Agency ARA.MED.330 protocol. Methods: SMBG and simultaneous interstitial glucose measurements using CGM (Dexcom G6®) were recorded during pre- and in-flight periods. Results: Eight male pilots (seven with type 1 diabetes and one with type 3c diabetes), median age of 48.5 years and median diabetes duration of 11.5 years, participated. The correlation coefficient (R) between 874 contemporaneously recorded SMBG and CGM values was 0.843, P < 0.001. The mean glucose concentration was 8.78 mmol/L (standard deviation [SD] 0.67) using SMBG compared with 8.71 mmol/L (SD 0.85) recorded using CGM. The mean absolute relative difference was 9.39% (SD 3.12). Conclusions: CGM using Dexcom G6 systems is a credible alternative to SMBG for monitoring glucose levels when insulin-treated pilots fly commercial aircraft. The study was registered with Clinical Trials.gov NCT04395378.
