This study sought to assess the accuracy of the three latest factory-calibrated CGM systems available in Europe at the time the study was conducted, both during aerobic exercise and in typical daily scenarios. The accuracy evaluation, based on metrics such as the median absolute relative difference (MARD) and point and rate error-grid analyses (PEGA and REGA), involved 13 adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants wore all sensors during a 1 h in-clinic exercise session followed by a subsequent 3-day home period, with blood glucose measurements serving as reference values in both contexts. During exercise, no statistically significant differences in MARD were observed (Dexcom G6: 12.6%, Guardian 4: 10.7%, and Freestyle Libre 2: 17.2%; p = 0.31), and similarly, no significant differences emerged in PEGA-zone-AB (100%, 100%, 96.8%; p = 0.37). Nevertheless, Freestyle Libre 2 showed comparatively diminished accuracy in estimating glucose trends during exercise (REGA-zone-AB: 100%, 93.0%, 73.3%; p = 0.0003). In the home environment, Freestyle Libre 2 exhibited a significantly higher MARD when compared to the other systems (10.2%, 11.9%, 16.7%, p = 0.02). Overall, Dexcom G6 and Guardian 4 demonstrated superior accuracy in both exercise and daily life scenarios compared to Freestyle Libre 2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23229256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,20]],"date-time":"2023-11-20T01:54:12Z","timestamp":1700445252000},"page":"9256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Factory-Calibrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in Type 1 Diabetes: Accuracy during In-Clinic Exercise and Home Use"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4343-7777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sissel Banner","family":"Lundemose","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Clinical Research, Diabetes Technology Research, Borgmester Ib Juuls Vej 83, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9253-9457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Laugesen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Clinical Research, Diabetes Technology Research, Borgmester Ib Juuls Vej 83, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajenthen Gayathri","family":"Ranjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Clinical Research, Diabetes Technology Research, Borgmester Ib Juuls Vej 83, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1620-8271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kirsten","family":"N\u00f8rgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Clinical Research, Diabetes Technology Research, Borgmester Ib Juuls Vej 83, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1436","DOI":"10.1177\/19322968211023522","article-title":"Accuracy of CGM Systems During Continuous and Interval Exercise in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes","volume":"16","author":"Pasquini","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
