The small number of prior assessments of CGM accuracy in CHI have thus been incomplete. We aimed to develop a novel Hypoglycaemia Error Grid (HEG) for CGM assessment for those with CHI based on expert consensus opinion applied to a large paired (CGM\/blood glucose)\u00a0dataset.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Paediatric endocrinology consultants regularly managing CHI in the two UK centres of excellence were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding glucose cutoffs and associated anticipated risks of CGM errors in a hypothetical model. Collated information was utilised to mathematically generate the HEG which was then approved by expert, consensus opinion. Ten patients with CHI underwent 12 weeks of monitoring with a Dexcom G6 CGM and self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) with a Contour Next One glucometer to test application of the HEG and provide an assessment of accuracy for those with CHI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>CGM performance was suboptimal, based on 1441 paired values of CGM and SMBG showing Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) of 19.3% and hypoglycaemia (glucose &amp;lt;3.5mmol\/L (63mg\/dL)) sensitivity of only 45%. The HEG provided clinical context to CGM errors with 15% classified as moderate risk by expert consensus when data was restricted to that of practical use. This provides a contrasting risk profile from existing diabetes error grids, reinforcing its utility in the clinical assessment of CGM accuracy in\u00a0hypoglycaemia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Hypoglycaemia Error Grid, based on UK expert consensus opinion has demonstrated inadequate accuracy of CGM to recommend as a standalone tool for routine clinical use. However, suboptimal accuracy of CGM relative to SMBG does not detract from alternative uses of CGM in this patient group, such as use as a digital phenotyping tool. The HEG is freely available on GitHub for use by other researchers to assess accuracy in their patient populations and validate these findings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fendo.2022.1016072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]],"date-time":"2022-11-02T05:53:58Z","timestamp":1667368438000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["The
