Limited benefits were observed in patients ages 15-24yrs - likely due to limited CGM use in some patients  CGM group age 8-14 yrs had significant improvements across many measures of glycemic control  Twice as many reduced A1c by 10\%, which reduces risk of long-term microvascular complications by about 40\%  Increased time wearing CGM was associated with better outcomes in all three age groups 22 ❋ Unknown (2009)
