Continuous glucose monitoring–guided optimization of peritoneal dialysis prescription in glycogen storage disease type 1a: a case report

Key takeaways

This is a report on one person with glycogen storage disease type 1a, a rare inherited problem with handling sugar, who was also on peritoneal dialysis. Doctors used a continuous glucose monitor, a small sensor worn on the skin that tracks blood sugar all day, to adjust the dialysis fluid. Blood sugar control improved after the change. One person is not enough to show cause, and it may not apply to others.
