The FreeStyle Libre 2 system is a Flash glucose monitoring system that, after a scan, provides information on interstitial glucose for the last 8 hours in the form of a reading every 15 min. The system is approved for non-adjuvant use for therapeutic decision-making. The acceptability and effectiveness of the FSL is well documented in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Most of the studies in patients with DM2 have been developed in patients with insulin treatment, either basal or with multiple doses. For all these reasons, we proposed an exploratory study to evaluate satisfaction with treatment (main variable) in people with DM2 who start glucose monitoring in the Endocrinology Day Hospital context compared to patients who use capillary blood glucose monitoring. These are patients treated in a context of debut/acute decompensation/intercurrent pathology, who will not necessarily be using insulin treatment. The aim is to know if the use of FSL2 provides benefits of user satisfaction with the treatment, assessed with the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire at the end of follow-up (mean score of all items); in this context.
