Recommendations for research
The guideline committee has made the following recommendations for research.
1 Use of routinely collected real-world data to examine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring
Based on routinely collected real-world data, what is the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring devices to improve glycaemic control in children and young people? [2022]
For a short explanation of why the committee made this recommendation for research, see the rationale section on continuous glucose monitoring.
Full details of the evidence and the committee's discussion are in evidence review B: continuous glucose monitoring in children and young people with type 1 diabetes.
2 Effectiveness of glucose-lowering agents used to manage blood glucose levels in children and young people with type 2 diabetes
In children and young people with type 2 diabetes, what is the effectiveness of glucose-lowering agents used to manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes? [2023]
For a short explanation of why the committee made this recommendation and how it might affect practice, see the rationale section on glucose-lowering agents for managing blood glucose levels in children and young people with type 2 diabetes.
Full details of the evidence and the committee's discussion are in evidence review D: glucose-lowering agents for managing blood glucose levels in children and young people with type 2 diabetes.
3 Weekly treatment with glucose-lowering agents for managing blood glucose levels
In children and young people with type 2 diabetes, what is the effectiveness of weekly treatment with glucose-lowering agents for managing blood glucose levels compared to daily treatment? [2023]
For a short explanation of why the committee made this recommendation and how it might affect practice, see the rationale section on glucose-lowering agents for managing blood glucose levels in children and young people with type 2 diabetes.

4 Continuous glucose monitor sensor adhesive to prevent sensitivities
What is the best continuous glucose monitor sensor adhesive to prevent sensitivities to the device, for example local skin reactions? [2022]
For a short explanation of why the committee made this recommendation for research, see the rationale section on continuous glucose monitoring.
