Case series showed personalized insulin adjustments improve glycemic control in hemodialysis patients, highlighting CGM's role.
Introduction Diabetes management in hemodialysis patients is complicated by limited treatment options and challenges in glycemic monitoring. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides detailed glucose profiles, enabling tailored glucose‐lowering therapy. Methods This case series presents three insulin‐treated hemodialysis patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Findings Each case reveals significant glycemic abnormalities, including excessive hyperglycemia with nocturnal glucose drops, unrecognized hypoglycemia, and extreme glucose variability. We propose specific personalized insulin adjustments based on CGM readings to optimize treatment across these different clinical scenarios. Conclusions The case series highlights the potential to rethink glucose monitoring in hemodialysis patients with diabetes and underlines the need for future studies evaluating CGM use in this population.
