Databases were searched from inception to February 2026. Primary outcomes included HbA1c, mean glucose concentration, time in range (%TIR), time above range (%TAR), time below range (%TBR), body mass index (BMI), and patient-reported outcomes. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed using Stata 17. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias tool, version 2, and certainty of evidence was evaluated using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twenty-five RCTs were included. Continuous glucose monitoring significantly reduced HbA1c (mean difference [MD] \u22120.34, 95% confidence interval [CI], \u22120.46 to \u22120.23), mean glucose concentration (MD \u221213.97\u2009mg\/dL, 95% CI, \u221223.13 to \u22124.81), and %TAR (MD \u22126.75%, 95% CI, \u221210.81 to \u22122.70), while significantly increasing %TIR (MD +7.85%, 95% CI, 4.32-11.38).

Benefits were generally more pronounced in non-insulin-treated populations.
