Abstract

In an article in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Ji et al. report on the accuracy of a new factory calibrated continuous glucose monitoring system, the AiDEX CGM (Microtech Medical Company, Ltd., Hangzhou, China). This is the first report from a new manufacturer of a highly accurate factory calibrated CGM. The authors report that the accuracy of the AiDEX CGM is comparable to previous results from Abbott Diabetes Care and Dexcom. However, the study protocol was significantly different from previous studies. This study is the first of numerous studies likely from other manufacturers of CGM technology. It raises the question of how to evaluate sensor performance in the coming era of mass adoption of CGM and increased use of automated insulin delivery systems.
