Aims: • To audit CGM satisfaction in adult patients with T1DM, in Irish outpatient setting.• To compare CGM satisfaction of patients attending public vs private setup.• To compare CGM satisfaction of patients to perception of Diabetes Educators regarding CGM satisfaction of their patients.

Methods: This audit is a cross-sectional survey, conducted from April 2023 to June 2023, using a validated questionnaire; The Glucose Monitoring Satisfaction Survey (GMSS)¹. Total 114 patients with T1DM, attending Diabetes Outpatients Clinic in St. Vincent’s University Hospital and St Vincent’s Private Hospital participated in the survey and completed the questionnaire. 8 Diabetes Educators (7 Diabetes Specialist Nurses and 1 Dietician), also completed the GMSS to express their perception of device satisfaction of their patients with T1DM using CGM. Participants were also invited to make any additional comments they have, to have qualitative data.

Results: All patients with T1DM were found to have high overall device satisfaction (M= 4.07, SD 0.66787). No statistically significant difference was observed among CGM satisfaction of patients attending public vs private setups (t (96) = -0.088, ρ = 0.381). Diabetes Educators also perceived high device satisfaction of their patients and comparison with CGM satisfaction of patients did not yield any statistically significant difference (t (102) = 0.311 ρ = 0.756).

Conclusion: High device satisfaction was found in patients with T1DM attending Diabetes clinic in St. Vincent’s university and St. Vincent’s private hospital. Diabetes Educators also perceive that their patients are satisfied with their device use.
