    The study analyzed data from 2387 patients using Dexcom G6 CGM, with a mean age of 42.7 years and a majority having type 2 diabetes.

    Activation of low-glucose alerts was linked to reduced time below range but increased time above range, indicating mixed effects.

  • 4

    High-alert activation was associated with lower average glucose and higher time in range, particularly in patients with type 1 diabetes.

    The study highlights the need for further research on individualized CGM alert settings and their impact on glycemic outcomes.
