Abstract
Objective: To assess the economic impact of providing real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) within North West (NW) London clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). Methods: The eligible population for CGM and inputs for the economic budget impact model developed were derived from published data. The model includes cost of CGM; cost savings associated with lower hypoglycaemia related hospital admissions, accidents and emergency visits; self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) strip usage; and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction-related avoided complications and insulin pump use. Results: The cost of CGM for T1D-IAH (n=3,036) in the first year is £10,770,671 and in the fourth year is £11,329,095. The combined cost off-sets related to reduced hypoglycaemia admissions, SMBG strip usage and complications are £8,116,912 and £8,741,026 in years one and four, respectively. The net budget impact within the NW London CCGs is £2,653,760; £2,588,068 in years one and four respectively. Conclusions: Introduction of CGM for T1D-IAH patients will have a minimal budget impact on NW London CCGs, driven by cost of CGM and offsets from lower hypoglycaemia-related costs, reduced SMBG strip usage, avoided HbA1c-related complications and lower insulin pump use.
