Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the glycemic outcomes in temporary use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or multiple daily injection (MDI).  
Methods: A CGM for 7 days was added on T1D patients with HbA1c>7.5%. All patients did not use any CGM device in the last three months. Patients were analyzed in two groups: 
CSII group, 28 patients on CSII (Minimed Veo/722, Medtronic, USA) used real-time CGM (Minilink with En-lite sensor, Medtronic, USA) for seven days, where patients could see the glucose value and respond adequately and   
MDI group, 32 patients on MDI used retrospective CGM (Ipro2 with En-lite sensor, Medtronic, USA), where patients could not see the glucose value (blinded CGM).  
Patients from both groups used the CGM device for 7 days.  Data was downloaded using specific software (Carelink Pro and Carelink Ipro, Medtronic, Northridge, CA) and specific instructions in basal and bolus insulin, education on food, physical activity and hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia were given to the patients. HbA1c was obtained before and three months after the study. 
Results: Both groups significantly improved glucose control (HbA1c) from 7.8±0.6% to 7.1±0.6% in CSII group and from 8.2±1.1% to 7.4±0.8% in MDI group. There was no significant difference between both groups at the end of the study.  
Conclusions: Temporary use of CGM can improve glucose control in both T1D patients on CSII or MDI. Further investigation on larger groups should be performed to confirm our findings.
